  • ILLINOIS - 1.0 vs Indiana (Tuesday)

    Illinois host # 23 Indiana and are a 1.0 opening chalk

    There is plenty of Bad blood between these schools
    fueld by the recent decommit from Illinois
    of 6-4 shooting phenom Eric Gordon to Indiana...

    He chose to play for Sampson, who has hired
    a few of Eric Gordons friends as assistants in various areas
    for Indiana.. You can bet the farm that the Orange
    Crush fan section will display no Love to Coach Sampson..

    But it all comes down to the floor, the hard court
    and the players when the tip arrives....

    A LOOK AT THE HOOSIERS..............

    Riding a 5 game winning streak this team found itself
    this morning ranked # 23 today, after impressive
    wins vs UCON at UC and Iowa....

    Led by Junior Forward DJ White (Big 10 player of the week)
    14.3 a game this season, DJ is feeling his game,

    Against Iowa and UCon (last 2 games)
    DJ scored 22 pts a game, 7.5 rebounds
    and 2.5 blocks (Now that is a SOLID PLAYER)

    Defense ranked number one in the Big Ten from the
    arc, holding opponents to just 28% from afar....

    Indy can shoot the rock from outside, they are not afraid
    to shoot it and have made 10 or more treys
    6 times this year

    From the Charity Stripe last 10 games
    LASER BEAMED in...

    A LOOK AT THE FIGHTING ILLINI

    Illinois coming off a punch to the mouth
    at home vs #2 Wisky....They gave it everything
    they had and in the end lost again, only this time
    it felt better due to effort....

    Illinois is Hurting (what's new) well they have
    a few new injuries to saddle up along side
    the old....

    Brian Randle is not expected to play he is
    suffering from Plantar Faciitis. He did not practice
    Sunday or Today....(Plantar Faciitis is Heel Pain)..

    Shaun Pruit the battleship inside is nicked with
    a knee injury, leaving the Wisky game to return
    he also is questionable and did not practice Sunday
    or today

    Chester fraizer.....Did not practice Sunday or today....

    THE FLOOR VIEW FROM THE CARPET

    Illinois is hurt, Coach Weber was on the his weekly
    radio show and you could hear the dejection in
    his voice as he spoke about injuries and lack
    of practice time.....At one point in practice he looked
    over to a kid in the stands and said HEY You wanna play?

    Indiana is starting to come together as a team
    and I would bet that SAMPSON will have this
    team ready to play and handle this racous Illini crowd

    If Illinois was healthy Indiana would have their
    hands full, but If is the largest word in the dictionary....

    Carpets Pick......Indiana + 1.0

    Good Luck to all

          I agree as well but i'm going to wait until closer to game time to place my wager because it looks like most of the money is on the illini. Opened at -1 and is now at -3 on some sites. Let's hope for the best

              The line is now -2.5 Illinois

              I just cant see why the Illini are a favorite
              and the line is rising, what the Hell do people see
              that I dont.....?

              My numbers show Indy by 5

              Good Luck all Carpet

                What do they see that the Carpet Dont.............?

                Indiana shooting 20% from 3 point land
                18 team fouls, and a total score of 43 points
                for the game

                Sorry Guys, I was rolling the dice on this
                play, deep down I knew that Illinois would have
                a break out game....

                What I didn't expect was coach Weber playing
                Possum with regards to his players status,
                Randle did sit, but the Battle ship Pruit played

                And played he did 13 rebounds 10 points.....

                Indiana went 10 minutes with out a bucket.....

                I thought that Sampson would have his players
                ready for the road, but the bottom line is
                Indiana is a Bad road team...........

                Illinois wins a Gut Check game at home
                and played SNAP DOWN defense being injured....

                The Carpet apologizes to all that lost tonight
                on my post, but keep the faith .....

                Kudos to Coach Weber for getting this mash unit
                to give it all.................
