How to Watch Illinois Basketball vs Baylor Exhibition Game

Both Illinois and Baylor remain undefeated after one exhibition game apiece (for whatever that’s worth). The Bears’ win is undoubtedly more impressive, though.

They went into enemy territory (of sorts) – the game was staged in Jacksonville – and knocked off preseason No. 1 Florida. Baylor rode an impressive 31-point, eight-rebound, four-assist performance from standout sophomore guard Kayden Mingo – a player Illinois is quite familiar with – to an 82-76 overtime victory.

On the flip side, the Illini also went on the road, but they ventured all the way into the lion’s den. Playing Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Illinois came away with a 105-96 victory. Andrej Stojakovic may have been the star of the night, though a handful of Illini put on a show. At the same time, the Illini also let a few Bearcats go off.

Can Illinois score at a similar rate while also getting some stops on Friday night? That will be one area to monitor – especially since the Bears aren’t short on high-level guards, which has proved to be the Illini’s kryptonite.
