Illinois’ superior athletes have proven to be the difference. 1st Media Timeout (15:06): Illinois has played this game at the pace Mizzou usually forces its opponents to play at.East hits a 3-pointer, but the Illini are still controlling the tempo and shot quality on both ends.Also haven’t truly seen Sean East II get involved on the offensive end. Connor Vanover into the game, but Trent Pierce remains on the floor after a solid start.Tigers will have to adjust to that, focusing on not letting him get a head of steam.
is showing that he is not afraid to go right at Mizzou’s smaller guards in the open floor. A great sign for a guy that has been somewhat struggling as of late.
