Minnesota comes in after two wins in a row, a home win against Penn State, and a win at Northwestern. Northwestern and Penn State look like the two teams weaker in the league than Minnesota, so we don't want to join them in losing to the Golden Gophers.
The Illini roster looks really thin at this stage of the season. I am really glad Brian Carlwell did not choose to redshirt. A quick look at the roster explains why:
Probable starters are: Pruitt, Carter, Randle (playing injured), McBride, Meacham
Off the Bench players: Carlwell, Brock, Arnold
Others: Frazier (injured), Smith (injured but might play), Jackson, Hicks, Semrau (out for season)
If Randle is hurt, they don't have much of a rotation for the game. I put Smith in the last category since his shooting slump seems to be caused by his ankle injuries. In my opinion, they should rest Jamar until he is able to play like himself again.
The game starts at 7pm Central time, and is being shown on ESPN+ Regional coverage.
