Chaz Lanier continues to look like an SEC Player of the Year candidate

Entering the campaign, some thought Barnes would have issues after losing so many players last offseason. However, the chemistry overall is fantastic and sharpshooter Chaz Lanier has looked great thus far.

Lanier is coming off a 22-point showing against the Hurricanes at MSG. It was surely a memorable night for him too, as Madison Square Garden is iconic. Against Illinois, the expectation is that Lanier is going to stay red hot with the ball in his hands. He'll enter this contest leading the team with his 19.1 points per game. Could another big-time performance be on the way Saturday? We think so.
