I do think UCONN could repeat as champs this season but they will have a tough challenge hereon Saturday,



Illinois has emerged has one of the top offensive teams in the country (currently 2nd in offensive efficiency) and I'll trade the Illini athleticism and size on defense for the technical aspect that didn't work at all with San Diego State.
