Big 10 Championship (Opinions Wanted)

Illinois vs Wisconsin (-6.5)

I've kinda changed my mind on this one actually. Illinois shot over 60% in their last game and I dont think it happens against Wisconsin, expect the blowout and take Wisconsin

Just take the under and don't worry about the side.

Wisky 52
Illini 45

[TPowell]

yeah the Illini barely got to 70 and they shot 60% from the field

What do you guys think of this tease:

Illinois +11.5
Under 117.5

Thumbs up or thumbs down?

Scary, Slayer. I could see Wisky winning by 12.

Scary, Slayer. I could see Wisky winning by 12.

Yeah. Illinoy blows and its going to catch up to them at some point. Probably better to use the under with another total.

Illi has been damn lucky to make it this deep and I think today's Mich State scare leads to the Badgers coming out in lights out D mode tomorrow and I expect them to go hard inside and build a DD lead by halftime.

conventional wisdom indicates wiscy should run away with this one fairly early, but this past week has thrown such wisdom on it's ear, so would like to say wiscy, but Illini could play outside themselves with the tourney bid on the line.....

well that should clear things up lol

Wisconsin G Trevon Hughes (ankle; 11.6 ppg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Big Ten Tournament title game vs. Illinois.

Head to Head

1/10/2008 ILLINOIS @ WISCONSIN 60-70
2/20/2008 WISCONSIN @ ILLINOIS 71-57

Illinois won tonite but played terribly...I have never seen so many 3 balls not hit the rim...They were getting their own rebounds from airballs on the other side...No guard play to speak of..Terrible passing and ball control...They really looked awful...How Minnesota lost is still confusing...They (Minn) didnt play well obviously it just didnt show quite as bad....(I won on Ill... but still...awful)

Gonna stay away from the spread and take the under.

Seeding wise, wouldn't this be a huge statement game for Wisconsin, they are in the tourney as it stands, but if they lose to the Illini, would that really affect where they are seeded?
