  • ILLINOIS BASKETBALL USC-3 vs Illinois ....late game

    Illinois + 3 vs USC.

    I love the perceived mismatch here. Illinois should be favored.

    Perhaps as USC rebuilds from a horrible record last year many are caught up in the hype of this new class USC has. They don't look that special to me. Only a couple things stands out about USC.

    THE SIZE and the diversity of players they seem to have from around the globe. They are coming together for only the 4th time.

    Illinois must neutralize the USC Big men by driving the lane and creating foul trouble.
    The ability to create space will be Illinois main focus.

    USC is rebuilding from the ground up, Illinois is always building only this time they have a new coach named John Groce and he inherited a boat load of talent at Illinois.

    Illinois 74 USC 60

    I am on USC myself until Illinois proves they are worth a shit.
    I cannot believe Illinois is better than they were last year and they stunk last year!

      They are trust me, this new coach has really opened the floor up with this squad and it is just what fits this team perfectly.

      Illinois is loaded with run and gun talent, the days of milking a shot clock down to 30 seconds and then launching a terrible shot at the buzzer is gone.

      They will fire the ball up at any time, one thing this new coach did was instill confidence in his players to shoot the ball if you have a shot shoot it without fear of being benched with a miss. So they will fire it up a lot.

      One other thing that is important is getting back on defense this new coach of Illinois wants to play both ends of the floor at high speed. This team seems to be adjusting well to this style of play.

      Time will tell just giving you my thoughts

        Okay, here is a great example of what I love about our forum here. I hadn't even looked at this late game USC/Illini. Then I read Carpets commentary, and based on his track record overall, I thought what the heck. Even played the money line because how passionate he was about this game. Well, only half,but..... I feel pretty confident up 31 at half! Thank you Mr Carpet sir! You don't toot your own horn hardly at all, comparitively speaking, but I have followed you for quite some time, and overall you are up there. Keep those picks coming, and love the commentary you and others give o alot of these games.

            ILLINOIS 94 USC 64

            Illinois attempted 29 three point shots hitting 13 for 43% from the arc.

            This team is going to be fun to watch this year

              Whats your thoughts on Chimanade tonight? Illinois -13 I think???

              Chaminade just knocked off Texas and can shoot the ball pretty well.

                Chaminade a DII school with 1200 catholic students in Honolulu did just knock off a Texas team, and Texas looked flat out tired all night long.

                I think the speed of Illinois will really surprise the Silver Swords and I see it

                Illinois 82 Chaminade 64

                Will have more later on this game
