Bradley or Illinois

Not if BU fouled them every time they touched the ball. They shoot free throws at a grade school level.

Na, BU would get the Illini repeating their one great FT performance of the year when actually shot 90% from the FT line before their deep subs entered that game..

If they shot their FT's at their current 59% rate, your strategy would give Illinois 1.08 points per possession. Congratulations, you just turned Illinois into a decent offensive team while fouling out a bunch of Bradley players. There's a reason nobody does this.

*EDIT - I realized I calculated that wrong - it would actually be 1.18 points per possession, which is equivalent to an excellent offensive team. So, yeah, your strategy wouldn't work.

Keep in mind I'm not being biased as a fan of both squads, but I would have to say Illinois just because they have more experience, especially in the front court with Randle and Pruitt. I don't see Bradley being able to counter, mainly because they have Salley and guys like DC are inexperienced and foul a lot/can't play good defense. Although, if Ruff is healthy, things could turn in Bradley's favor, and both teams seem to have played better than they do home or away on a neutral floor.
