Georgetown/Illinois Thurs. 12/8

[kdmfox]

Illinois is 8-0 and ranked #11 in the country with 7 home wins out of the 8 ... They are at home again tonight against 3-1 Georgetown ... GT has 3 road wins and also a pretty good basketball team ... This is an ESPN game and I'm thinking a very close contest every step of the way.

My pick of the night ... Take Georgetown and the 7 points.

I think Illinois will cover G-town is on the last of three road games and there compation has not been that great,I can see Ill. being up buy DD late in the game and G-town getting the back door with a late three as so many covers crash and burn in hoops

ya i got gtown with the points too

ill is good but not close to what they were last year

Read a report, on the Illinois website me thinks, whereby their coach is looking forward to some 'down' time after a hectic early schedule. Highlighted some issues that need to be resolved re: ability to practice and thought perhaps his players were getting a little weary. Sounds good to me, I'm on with ya Fox. Thanks mate.

Crap boys, we in trouble without a big 2nd half.
