Illinois 19-9 opens a 8 point home chalk vs
the 18-9 Wolverines of Michigan.
Senior Night in Champaign as Rich McBride
Brian Randle and Warren Carter play the last
home game as a fighting Illini..
It also marks another ending, the end
of Chief ILLINI a tradition that has lasted over
80 years. At halftime the Chief makes his last dance
forever....
A LOOK AT MICHIGAN
Senior Captain Lester Abrams arrested
last night for speeding, no insurance and
driving on a suspended. Also outstanding
warrant out in Ann Arbor for driving
on a suspended....
I have no information whether he will play or sit for the Illini Game....
Knowing Coach Amaker this kid will play no matter what...
Michigan is not a good road team scoring an
average of 58 points a game on the road.
The Wolverines have only beaten ONE big ten
team on the road this year Northwestern...
MICHIGAN ON THE ROAD
W Northwestern 58-46
L Purdue 67-53
L Whisky 71-58
L Indy 76-61
L Ohio St 76-63
L Mich St 59-44
Not very impressive, from my perspective....
A LOOK AT ILLINOIS
Illinois is sitting on a knife and needs to get off it
one way or the other, A loss to Michigan at home
on Senior Night would be devestating to any
NCAA hopes
Illinois DEFENSE is it's trade mark this year
16th in the nation in scoring Defense 58 ppg
(as of feb 15)
Leading the BIG TEN in Defense on Scoring
D at 56 ppg also 3 point in your face defense
at .271%
The Illini are mentally and physically drained
you can see it, while there are moments of
greatness it is not sustained over time in their play.
When Illinois clamp down defense holds
opponents to 60 points or less they
are 13-0 ....allowing 60 pts or more only 5-9.
CARPETS FLOOR VIEW
When these two teams play each other it
is always a good game, The last 10 games
between these two schools have been decided
by an average of 6.4 pts a game
Michigan just coming off a huge win
over Indiana feeling good about themselves
I expect Michigan will brings it A game
Illinois will also bring the A Game or maybe B
I expect this game to be a sloppy, low scoring affair
and Michigan hanging closer than 8 points
CARPETS PICK
Michigan + 8.0 (60-55)
Good Luck all Carpet
