Northeastern lost lost four starters, the rest of their guys didn't play very much. They start 6'8, 6'6, 6'5. 6'0, 5'9, they dont have very much size and their starters played heavy minutes. Souther Ill, only shot 24-64 vs Ill and brought the game within 1 in the second half before, Ill went on a huge run. Southern Ill has much more size, plus the game is at home and at 9 a.m.
With you on this play. I am an ILL fan and was at the IL-SIU game....SIU really stood no chance in that game, especially with ILL shooting the ball the way it did...SIU's size will be the difference.
