Illinois +2

Yes Illini is a great team, with most of their starters returning this season. They really garnered some attention after dominating the Hawaii classic, draining 3's, playing cohesively. I'd say this is a great bet. I'll be on the fighting Illini aswell.

vcu and stanford are quality. I was all excited about taking ill. in this game. But you know the public is all over Illinois so why is mizzou fav. by 2?? SHARP MONEY!!! Mizzou only has one starter returning when they played lousiville they were still building chemestry. Mizzou bench is deeper and starters put more points up per game. Jabari brown has just been added to the line up earlier this month. From what I hear its usually far from a nuetral court and usually fav mizzou. So I think you got to take all these factors in consideration. I am not saying mizzou is going to win but to come out and say will be a breese is crazy. Plus regardless on how the teams are doing this game is always close!!!

Public is actually on Missouri. 55% on Missouri, so basically a split. Not sure if Missouri is deeper, both teams are pretty deep. Illinois knows what it takes to play on a neutral court as they have played quite a few games on neutral courts. Line is accurate, slight advantage to Missouri since it is basically a home game for them. Just saying, Illinois SOS and beat opponents are far more impressive than Stanford and VCU.

Missouri hasnt played anyone good except UL and look how that turned out! Illinois has beaten ranked and quality teams!

But Mizzou has more muscle inside. They've been bashing the boards on every team. Illinois will have a hard time rebounding today. They'll be pretty much one and done on shooting with no offensive rebounding.

I like Mizzou in the first half if anything.

We shall see. Will be a good game regardless. A Coinflip of a game.

I admit butler zags is more impresive. I been spending hours the last few days looking at this game trying to decide. But im sure it will be a good game. you should take a look a roster and stats and let me know what you think I would like the insight on the line ups

GL either way. Also what do you think onb over??

LOL My guy woke up late saved me money on cuse and mich st. split on boise st vs wash and ohio st as it appears so far. So my whole day depends on this game! Mizzou and OVER!!

sportsguy04 · 12-22-12, 05:51 PM

Thinking I may play the Over 144. Should be a game in the 70's or 80's for sure.

Jago2008 · 12-22-12, 05:55 PM

IF Illinois starts to knock down some 3's early, Mizz. could be in trouble, regardless of rebounding prowess. Obviously with that said if they go cold - could be a long game for Illinois, Illinois is averaging 10 treys per contest.

Its going to be a good game that will most likely go down to the wire.

MANIER08 · 12-22-12, 06:01 PM

Well about that time to see gl everyone!!!

Cash that Mizzou First Half

The rebounding as I mentioned earlier is coming into play so far. Illinois getting outboarded 21-14 1st half but more importantly getting killed on the offensive boards 8-2. Most of those have resulted in points for Mizzou.

Best of Luck for the second half.

sportsguy04 · 12-22-12, 07:11 PM

Illinoia will knock down those easy 3s that they missed.

jimminn · 12-22-12, 07:56 PM

The game is a great game to watch , Alot of great basketball being played. I love the way Illinois plays,no fear.

sportsguy04 · 12-22-12, 08:00 PM

This is going down to the wire.

sportsguy04 · 12-22-12, 08:03 PM

Missouri will cover here.

qb1789 · 12-22-12, 08:05 PM

sportsguy04 · 12-22-12, 08:08 PM
