  • Illinois vs Minnesota NCAA Mens Basketball Sunday

    Illinois travels to Minnesota to play the golden gophers tip off is at high noon Sunday.

    Gophers coach Manson is 0-9 vs Illinois.

    Illinois carry's a 10 game win streak vs Minny and have won 4 straight on the gophers floor.

    The Gophers are tough at home, could be one of the toughest places to play in the big ten as a visitor. They always seem to play the Illini tough.

    Minny is 0-8 in Big 10 play this year at home and 2-7-0 ATS at home.

    DEFENSE

    Defense wins ball games...................

    The last three Illinois victories, the Illini have played the best D all season.

    VS Penn State holding them to just 21% from the floor (home)

    VS Michigan holding them to just 35% from the floor (home)

    * VS Indiana holding them to just 31% from the floor (road)
    * Indiana did not score in the last 9:53 OF THE GAME)

    This is a combined 28% floor defense from the field and just 20% from 3 point land........... Now that's DEFENSE.....

    Illinois Defense has cranked it up a notch, the intensity is there as team...

    Minny will turn the ball over 15 times at least, they will be smothered at all ends.

    My numbers show Illinois by 9 on the road.....

    Good Luck to all

    I agree with your read about the MSU-Illini game Tuesday. And as an MSU alum I am a devout follower of their athletic program. But don't you think given their horrible road record (their only wins away from home coming against the two worst teams in the Big 10) and the recent strong play of the Illini that the spread will be somewhat high? I'm thinking if the Illini are favored by any less than 5 it is a solid play. I also believe the way MSU has been running lately the over may be a solid play.

    What do you feel a playable spread would be?

      Illinois opens up a 6.5 point chalk on the road...

      The Illini are starting to find it's glue..

      While I hate to play them on the road I am compelled to lay with Illinois in this game.....

      Good Luck to all,

      P.S. (To Sports Portfolio re:MSU at Illinois) MSU gives up 75ppg on the road while Illinois is averaging 80 a game on O....... The Line should come in about Illiniois -7....
