Illinois basketball once again took care of business, this time the victim was Florida Gulf Coast.
The Illini have never looked this good two games into a season. We are clicking on both ends of the court, and the offense, especially, has been eye-popping.
From the jump, this game got out of hand. Illinois soared to an early 17-1 lead over Eagles and never looked back. A 59-27 halftime lead would eventually increase into a 113-70 pounding of Florida Gulf Coast.
