Illinois is projected as a final-four caliber team and enters this game as the #6 rated team in the country. They are off a huge win at Duke, where they manhandled the Blue Devils 83-68, something that doesn't happen at Cameron Indoor very much. Missouri is 4-0 with wins over Wichita St., and Oregon, and will certainly be another test for the Illini. Missouri is a very capable defensive team allowing opponents a stingy 36% on the season while Illinois has been almost equally intense on the defensive end allowing less than 40%. Both of these teams don't give up much from beyond the arc as each allows less than 30%. The intense battle here, and I will make the play on the UNDER.
