    There has to be a reason for Illi only -4....
    Can anyone shine some light on as to why they believe the odds-makers only have a terrible Indiana team getting 4 points to a Hot Illinois team tonight?

              Good value on the moneyline?? You've gotta be shrooming! I'd need at least +350 to take a team as godawful and shorthanded as IU straight up against the 2nd most talented team in the Big Ten who on paper at least matches up with Indiana perfectly.

                Too easy IMO and almost 80% of the public is on this play (betting Illinois).

                        I'm seriously contemplating the Indiana Hoosiers in this spot. Illinois is not a good road team and Indiana usually plays them very tough.

                          They are missing two starters. I hoping u of I can come out strong and rebound after they collapsed vs OSU. Webber did make that an emphasis,

                            pretty easy. On a neutral court, Illinois would be -8, at home Illinois would be -12. Soooooo on the road, Illinois is -4. Home court is very valuable guys

                              This is also a pretty big rivalry. IU students get up for this game and I guarantee the real assembly hall will be rocking tonight. Don't be surprised if Tom Crean gets these boys ready to play and they pull an upset

                                I think the line is right. Coming off a huge emotional game against the #1 team and choking a big lead now heading on the road and facing a inferior team. This is a tough spot for Illinois.

                                I am still on them for small cause I believe they come back from behind in the second halfand cover the small number tonight.

                                  The only reason I feel hesitant is because unlike Minnesota vs Northwestern last night and MSU vs Michigan tonight, Illinois is not structurally better than Indiana. By structurally better I mean that there are mismatches the superior team can exploit 100 out of 100 times. For example, Northwestern takes a lot of 3s and plays a lot of 1-3-1 zone, therefore they are bad at rebounding. Minnesota on the other hand, is one of the best rebounding teams in the nation. Granted Villanova had 23 offensive rebounds vs. Providence last night and still lost by 15 but the Big East has always been weak at the top. Bottom feeders almost never win in the Big Ten.

                                    The line has held steady at 4 all day.

                                          Illinois almost lost by double figures last year at Indiana. They had a nice comeback and ended up winning but it was an unimpressive win. No play!
