    Ranked team is a HOME DOG to an unranked team?

    Within the last week we saw a ranked team as a 10.5 point underdog to an unranked team (that had to be a record), now we get a Ranked team (Illinois) is a HOME DOG to an unranked team (Wisconsin)?

    The favorite could change before tip-off but I'm thinking this has to be unprecedented. Is it? What's your take on this game?

    Illinois is a different beast at home. But then so was Purdue until the Badgers smashed on them too. Leaning Illinois but can't make a play on this game.

    People are undervaluing Illinois now b/c of the loss at Penn State... but as someone who was unbiased watching that game, the officials handed PSU about 12 points... 5 of them on a technical foul on a 'thrown' elbow by an Illinois player that never actually happened.

    Illinois rolls.

    I start taking a look at these teams and the first stat I look at, point differential, made me write off Illinois immediately. I see why they're dogs now.

    Last week Wis was a favorite against Michigan and got run off the court if I remembered correctly. You might want to check on that if it helps.

    I don't take a side in college BB unless they have a significantly better point differential than their opponents.
