This writer caught a glimpse of Florida Atlantic vs. Illinois last December while enjoying a burger and beverage with friends at the Little Brown Jug, a University of Michigan watering hole, before heading to Crisler Center to cover Michigan vs. Indiana later that night. Little did we know at the time, we'd be watching the same game and furiously taking notes in the middle of the summer, but that's exactly what's occurred. Florida Atlantic, of course, was led by new Michigan coach Dusty May, whose star player, center Vladislav Goldin, has joined him in Ann Arbor. Here's our film study on the 98-89 Fighting Illini win over May, Goldin and the Owls.
