How to watch No. 3 Illinois vs. No. 16 Texas Tech

When: Tuesday, November 10

Where: United Supermarkets Arena – Lubbock, Texas

Illinois top storylines

The Fighting Illini are coming off a season that saw them reach the Final Four for the sixth time in program history, and the first under head coach Brad Underwood. Of course, this brings even higher expectations for Underwood’s squad this season; Illinois was ranked No. 3 in the AP’s Preseason Top 25 poll and retained five of their eight highest scorers from last season.

Through two games, Illinois has routed both of its opponents (Fairleigh Dickinson, Penn) by 40+ points while maintaining its No. 3 spot in AP’s ranking. However, this matchup against Texas Tech will be their first true test of the season.

The Fighting Illini will look to senior guard Andrej Stojakovic, who has gotten off to a red-hot start this season, currently averaging 22.5 points per game on a ridiculous 64.3% from the floor. He’s also been effective on the other side of the ball, averaging six rebounds per night.

Texas Tech storylines

After an early second-round exit in last year’s NCCA Tournament, the Red Raiders are looking for redemption this year. Grant McCasland’s squad entered the season ranked No. 9 in the AP’s Preseason Top 25 poll, where he’ll be heavily reliant on his fifth-year players.

NC State transfer Darrion Williams, who is now in his second stint with Texas Tech, is one of those players. He averaged 15 PPG last season in a Red Raiders uniform. Also crucial to TTU’s success is Donovan Atwell, a three-point sniper who averaged over 13 PPG for the Red Raiders last season.
