Oregon is 4-14 in Big Ten play but 3-2 in its last five games. Nate Bittle and Kwame Evans make for a dynamic duo down low who are difficult in their own right to stop but also won’t be thrown off by Illinois’ size. It’s a tricky spot for the Fighting Illini coming off the deflating defeat last Friday night, because the Wolverines were quite possibly the last top-50 opponent the team will face until the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament. Brad Underwood’s team might be in a spot to take a breath and reset, while the Ducks are playing with house money and a bit more confidence from recent success.
