Believe the hype!
The annual
Braggin' Rights game between the Illini and Mizzou is tonight at 7:00 p.m. cst. and the
#1 ranking carried into the game by Illinois has upped the hype level considerably. With Illinois
18 point favorites, Bruce Weber is trying hard to convince his team that they can't take a rivalry like this for granted (see

Google News search returned more than 140 previews of the game. Go Illini!
