How to compared bond angle (C-N-C) and (Si-N-Si) in trimethyl amine and trisilyl amine respectively?

Nitrogen (N) atom in trimethyl amine [N(CH3)3] is sp3 hybridised and tetrahedral ( bond angle ~107)  due to non bonding electron pair of N is localised (more basic). On the other hand N atom of trisilyl amine [N(SiH3)3] is sp2 hybridised and trigonal planner (bond angle~120).This is due to the participation of non-bondlng pair of N into pπ-dπ back banding. Due to this delocalization of non-bonding electron pair of N in trisilyl amine it is also less basic
