The Blue Devils will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 315 places lower in Illinois), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Velasco? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
