Georgetown at Illinois

Georgetown coach Patrick Ewing was not happy with his team's defensive play last season and he has made it a priority this year for the Hoyas to improve on that end of the floor. Meanwhile, Brad Underwood is in his second year as coach of Illinois and he also looks for his team to improve defensively. But the Fighting Illini still has a big problem on offense as it was a terrible shooting team in 2017-18. It still remains to be seen if that will get better as the Illini shot only 43.9 percent from the field and 33.5 percent from three-point range. The UNDER is 10-3 in Illinois' last 13 non-conference games and 9-4 UNDER its last 13 after an ATS win. Illinois held its first opponent this season, Evansville, to 60 points and a .377 field goal percentage overall and .250 from beyond the arc. Play this matchup to stay UNDER the total.
