Georgia Tech at Illinois

The ACC/Big-10 Challenge moves to Illinois tonight with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in town. Things have been perfect for the Illini as they have opened the season with a flawless 7-0 record. Things almost changed their last time on the floor as a pesky Gardner Webb team gave them a scare in a 1-point win. They may have set the tone as to how to play this Illinois team by holding them to 24 first half points, and controlling the tempo. Tech is not up to the talent level here, so expect similar tactics. Georgia Tech is allowing 51.8 points per game and has already played a slowdown style. This matchup is a big one, so look for early intensity on the defensive end to rule the first half. Play the first half UNDER.
