    You really have no idea how dysfunctional your Illini are, do you?

    The line is only 2 for a reason.

    Northwestern probably won't get in if they lose. I really think the NCAA wants them in the field this year. They'll beat Minnesota and solidify their spot.

    I think they've been doing the BTT for 14 years... Illinois has the best record in the BTT in that frame. Slightly better winning percentage than 2nd place Ohio State.

    Obviously a bad team this year by Illinois standards but the year Illinois was 13-18 they won 3 and got to the championship game.

    As I pointed out when I got hit on Iowa +7 last week, Illinois played very poorly at home against Iowa (19 turnovers) and still won by 11. That is scary for Iowa here, don't you think? What if Illinois plays well? 30 point win. If Illinois plays poorly, that just ensures it will be close.

    What does Illinois' past performance in the B1G tourney have to do with this year? You are exceptionally delusional. I'll pray for you tomorrow since I'm guessing you'll drop a load on Illinois (in more ways than one)

    I think coaching is pretty big in the tournament. For whatever reason, Weber's teams have played better in the BTT than they did in the regular season generally speaking. Dont' know why, but considering Leonard and Paul both have NBA hopes, it'll help they'll be focused with plenty of NBA scouts on hand tomorrow.

    Who cares? This is the most back-asswards Illinois team in forever. Weber will be put out of his misery soon; Hawks might just finish him off tomorrow.

    The 13-18 team was a little worse.

    I like knowing that Leonard will abuse Iowa for 20 and 10 tomorrow, but good luck on Iowa. Gatens was 5-6 from 3 against Illinois last week and they still lost by 11. Better hope he goes 13-14.

    If you think Illinois playing well equates to a 30 point win on a neutral court over ANYONE then you are more delusional than I initially believed.

    lol the point is they won by 11 playing poorly and with Iowa's best shooter having a great game. Not a good sign for Iowa, all I'm saying.

    ACC is my number one followed conference, since I've lived in NC my whole life, and I agree with this play.

    Iowa's getting juiced pretty hard at Pinny right now.

    I'll probably just pass there and roll with UConn small early on.

    Good call. Brandon Paul goes off for 25 and Illinois wins by 10.

    There is zero reason for Illinois to not be at least -3 in this spot, if not -4.

    I still think the line is low for a reason. Like I said, we'll see.

    I see it a different way though. Iowa did finish 2 games ahead in the Big 10 standings than Illinois. I think the line is -2 for that very reason.

    After being in Mandalay a lot the last month, and listening to the casual bettor talk, you'd be amazed how many people bet almost exclusively on records.

    I heard this guy saying to his friend to go Harvard big because Columbia was only .500.

    I'm all over every one of these, time to turn the corner. No Coin was a big 1.7U winner Monday, a slightly over 1U loser on Tuesday plus down 13U on Wednesday. That week long run consisted of his final 3 days (almost half the week) at -12.?U. Most people lose that in a day or so from what I understand, but No Coin paces himself, makes those losses add up over time, not all at once. Time to take it to the bank!

    If Marqutte is -1 vs Louisville Im pounding the crap out of marquette. I see it being more along the lines of -4.5 (but it really should be 5.5 or 6)

    What happened to the BAYLOR bandwagon?

    Going with the BEARS -2 due to rebounding advantage, better road record, more offense.
    Another down to the buzzer game.

    Like your Northwestern and Iowa State plays HUGE!
