Illinois at Vanderbilt

The Illini know about home-court prowess and will get to experience that tonight as they take to the road against Vanderbilt. Memorial Gym has been a death trap for opponents as the Commodores will bring a 20-game home winning streak into this one, which includes some SEC heavyweights. Vanderbilt is built around last year's freshman sensation A.J. Ogilvy who averaged 17.6 points per game, and 6.7 rebounds per game, and should build on those numbers this season. The ‘Dores have added a top freshman in Jeffrey Taylor who led them in scoring last game with 16 points. The Illini were punished on the road last season, finishing just 3-9 and coming into this building without a road resume will be lethal. I'll take the Commodores to make it 21 straight.
