Illinois at Clemson

The Illini spread the floor and use the clock, and did it quite effectively a year ago winning 24 games and had no player average even 12 points. This year the song is the same with the leading scorer at 12.7. The results may not be the same as after four cupcake wins, the Illini fell to Bradley and Utah on a neutral court. Now they must face a Clemson team where Oliver Purnell has top recruits showing up for the first time in a longtime, and the results are showing. Tigers have a nice notch in their season taking down a very good Butler team and can play like the Illini as they have a wealth of contributors as well with no one over 13.9 per game. The difference is that this one is at home and the athletes are better. I'll go with Clemson in this one.
