Illinois Fighting Illini 2-0

The Illini got their second win of the season today over Florida A & M, not quite the type of opponent that is going to help get Illinois ready for Wake Forest, but still a good chance to get the subs plenty of playing time. 20 points from Dee Brown, 11 from Deron (more important 8 assists), although Deron was 2-8 3 pts. Roger Powell contributed a good game on the boards. This week will mark an uptick in the opponents, the sometimes dangerous Oakland, and the always tough Gonzaga at the Wooden Tradition.
