One-point drop after my post could be a strong indicator.

Strong meaning Illinois will win now or PSU?

Illinois destroyed #55 NW by 25 with great shooting %. Hopefully they will beat #74 PSU by 8-12

Key here is that Penn State doesn't turn the ball over much and Illinois isn't great at forcing turnovers. Penn State only turned the ball over 5 times the entire game while upsetting Michigan State Saturday and they are only turning the ball over on 17.6% of their possessions, which is 37th best in the country. Meanwhile, Illinois ranks just 123rd in forcing turnovers (21.8% of opponents' possessions).
The only thing stopping me from playing ML is Illinois three-point shooting.

I'm using my bonus money on Illinois tonight, they better freaking cover.

Wil, don't be a sucker, 2 upsets b2b by a weak defensive team? I don't think so.
In my opinion Illinois wins 65-48

Can't see IL losing this one..
What does Penn St. do that matches up well with IL?
I don't think this will be a blowout..it is @PSU. But PSU winning---maybe a bit much.
Thinking hard on a tease on IL pick and Texas -2 1/2......although I hate teasers generally.

Nice call with Penn St. I ended up changing my tease to Mich St pk, Florida +7.5 but I took Illinois straight. I just felt like Penn St wouldn't show up after beating Mich St but what I am struggling to realize is the fact that Mich St is just not that good. Once again good call and good luck tonight.
