Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 4936983, member: 5436"] There is no other team that matches up with us better than Illinois... except for maybe Marquette with a fully healthy Kolek. And even then Illinois' interior game is better than Marquette's. Ighodaro is good. Really good at times. But he disappears at times because he seems to get very passive. Illinois' bigs do not seem to disappear like he does. I have been beating this drum for weeks. In fact, I placed bets on us, Marquette... and Illinois to win it all 15 minutes before the brackets were announced, and was pissed they stuck Illinois as a 3-seed with us. I figured they would beat Iowa St. and be our biggest threat, and it is working out exactly that way. Either way... this is our biggest hurdle. It will be a war to the very end. Hopefully that track meet against a very talented St. John's team in the Big East semi finals will help us in preparing for this matchup. [/QUOTE]
