The Hilltoppers sport a 24-8 record, they
are the sun belt conf champs.
A late 9pm tip off could have a jet lag
effect on both teams as they travel across country
Illinois arrives Tuesday.
WKY has faced 3 tourney teams this year
WIN vs Louisville Nov 30
Loss vs Florida State 82-69 Dec 18
Loss vs Miss St 95-67 Jan 5
Illinois and the Hilltoppers share one common
opponent-------Georgia
WKY beat GA at home 67-63
Illinois mauled GA neutral site 76-42
WKy who has played the 183rd toughest schedule
this year, finds its self a 12 seed and a 5 point dog
vs Illinois
This team loves to put up the three shot hitting
about 36 per cent from afar, not bad.
They are a small team, the tallest being 6-9
Illinois coming off a dismal performance vs
Purdue is very excited to be back in the dance.
The injury to Chester Fraizer does hurt Illinois
but it is magnified against certain style of teams
and it will have no impact vs WKY
Illinois is just to big inside for the hilltoppers
and if they play any where as good as they did
vs Michigan its over for the boys from a hill in
Kentucky.
Every sports writer in the world has picked this game
as the number one 12-5 upset. And let me tell you
something my betting friends, the kids in Illinois
hear this and read this. This is exactly the extra
motivation coach weber needs to get the spark
back.
2 years ago everyone in the land that had
a tv show predicted #12 Illinois to upset the number
5 vtech and it didnt happen.
I know how Illinois PG demetri mcamey responds
to coming off a bad game, and also the spot light
Illinois strength inside and the defense will
be to much for WKY. Illinois is a good free throw
shooting team, Carpet thinks 3 players for WKY
fouls out in this game sending Illinois to the line
alot.
Illinois -9 vs WKY
