    Pu plus points seems too simple.

    That doesn't mean its the wrong play. I'm on Purdue, I know this looks similar to yesterday's OSU/Wisc game. But I'll put my money on the better team. I believe Illinois is has to play a solid if not great game to beat Purdue, but Purdue can play average and still beat the Illini. I'm not saying Illinois doesn't have a chance at home, the do but I think there is a better chance of Purdue covering +3 if not winning, than the opposite happening....

    Illini at home is a beast, only loss was to Ohio State in a close game. They have beaten the following at home

    Wisconsin, N'western, Mich. State, Penn State

    Purdue has lost 4 in a row on the road to Minny, W. Vir. Ohio State and Wisky. Gotta go with the home team here in a good game.

    I didnt call you a square or anything else. Im just saying Purdue can not play average and beat Illinois at Illinois. Im not playing the game myself but if I were to play it I will take the lesser ranked team giving points all day long

    Why does it seem 'too simple'. People make the mistake of rating teams overall. In college basketball, you gotta split each team into two. This isn't Purdue vs. Illinois. This is Road Purdue vs. Home Illinois. These two teams have some of the biggest disparities between their home/road teams. Illinois Home is significantly superior to Purdue Road. Illinois Home -2.5 really seems pretty simple to me. I think this is off by 2/2.5 points. Illinois -2.5 57-60% play.

    Ranked teams going on the road against unranked teams as a dog went 2-0 yesterday with UNC and San Diego St winning. Hmm Purdue my make it 3-0 for the weekend. Purdue came out strong in the 2nd half.


    Pitt won as a ranked dog on the road but they beat Villinova who was also ranked. Ohio St was the only ranked team that went on the road as a dog and lost yesterday.

    Purdue just wants the game more than Illinois wants it.

    It's looks like dogs on the road might be the way to go today. St John's beat Cincy straight up. Xavier has control early over Duquesne.

    Wow I didn't see this coming. I thought this would have been a tight game coming down to one possession. Illinois is gone get by about 15.

    Bruce Weber, Sidney Lowe, Frank Martin, coaches that shouldn't be working right now.

    Illini missing free throws. Sh%t is crazy. Could have got back in the game if they hit their fu@king free throws. They could easily be down by 2 or 3.

    It's over. Fighting Illini ain't fighting nobody but themselves. They forgot something called defense and hustle in the 2nd half.

    Where's Jordan Taylor when you need him. Somebody who can just go off from 3 point land.

    Agreed, sometimes home court doesn't matter as much as people would like to think.

    There was always the danger that this was going to be a let down game for Illinois after the unexpected BIG win over minnesota.....Gotta love the predictability of this league in these situations
