The Vols will find out what it's like wearing the big target of No. 1, facing a real challenge to its ranking tonight in Champaign-Urbana. The Fighting Illini are no wallflowers and will think their 86 ppg offense can keep paces. Their new weapon worth watching is 6-8 frosh Kasparas Jakucionis (15.9 ppg), who has scored 20+ each of the past four games and is hitting better than 44% of his triples, spreading out the floor nicely for Brad Underwood's offense. No one, however, has yet slowed UT, scoring better than 82 ppg while hitting better than 52% from the floor, with North Florida transfer G Chaz Lanier (19.1 ppg) turning into a portal jackpot for Rick Barnes.
