Mike LaTulip, an Illinois guard from 2012-2015, and analyst for the Field of 68 and the Illini Inquirer does as good a job covering college basketball and the Big10 as anyone in the game. LaTulip joins Matt Modderno on Fear the Podcast this week to talk about Buzz Williams' roster construction, how their style of play may translate, who on the roster needs to pop for them to succeed, and what their limitations may be.
