Illinois looking to 'let hair down' in NCAA opener vs. Arkansas.
Illinois is heading back to the NCAA Tournament, and that was the goal at the first practice back in late September.
After losing two of their last three conference games and falling to Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, the Fighting Illini do not appear to be equipped for a deep NCAA run.The No. 9 seeded Illini play No. 8 Arkansas in the West Region opener at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon at Des Moines, Iowa.
"If we lock in and play defense the way we know we can, we'll be fine," guard Terrence Shannon Jr. said. "Certainly Illinois is really well-coached," Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said."They have some guys that we've played before, like Terrence Shannon, who was at Texas Tech. And obviously Matthew Mayer from Baylor. They've got some really good transfers.
