Park Center Second B1G team to open the 23-24 season and it's against the Fighting Illini. A team the Grizz has not faced since the 2010-11 season. Really need the frontcourt to step up more in this game. This Illini squad faced off against #1 Kansas in the charity exhbition game and took it to them pretty good. They have a good amount of size to do damage on the boards.

I watched some of that ILL vs KS game, the Illini have a very good team this year. Hopefully, we can remain poised, and play well throughout.

Buru will be eligible. Not sure if he plays in this game but my guess is yes. So much needed depth and rebounding.

We played well overall against a really good Illinois team. We actually do have a deep team this year. If we remain healthy, I think this could be a good year for us.
