Enterprise Center is a big barn, and their fan bases will represent both sides well. Finally, we have two programs that are very familiar with each other in a rivalry game on a neutral court. The Fighting Illini have picked up the pace and will force the slower-playing Tigers into playing faster than they’d like, but the benefit for them is it will help them get a few more buckets in transition from Illini turnovers. Those turnovers will occur because Illinois has learned that the faster the tempo, the better they do. These programs are below average at taking care of the ball, and we’ll see both squads getting swipes and turning them into buckets. The Missouri split is 14.7 points from turnovers while allowing 12.2 ppg. Illinois averages 12.1 from turnovers and allows 12.6 points. Both teams score points from turnovers and allow several points per game from their turnovers.
