Thursday night at Allstate arena
This UMW team is a scrappy bunch of ball players, they run, they pressure and they can hit the 3
This Illinois squad has never played at All State arena, yesterday and today was the first time to get used to the rims and the lighting. You can bet the crowd will be a sea of orange.
UM's full court pressure has caught many a teams off guard, BC and Bama the most recent, UMW plays a 1-2-1-1 press on defense, very up tempo, forcing alot of turnovers.
Illinois will be prepared, Coach Weber is preparing the Illini for UMW's (chaotic Style). The Illini practiced with the starting five against 6 and 7 players in practice.
Illinois will break the pressure defense with ease, Augustine SHOULD have another big day with a Double Double as a probability. Easy lay ups, a fast run and gun style of play will suit Illinois just fine.
The Illinois defense is also smothering, shutting down teams, UMW has never faced a defensive squad like Illinois and it will show.
UMW played Wisconsin earlier this year, The Badgers pounded UMW back to the mid majors 66-37. Illinois has beaten Wisky 3 times this year.
I see this game as a total mismatch, The number one team in the land is coming to play..
The Carpet is pounding the Floor on Illinois -10.5, this is my strongest Illinois bet in a long time
Good Luck to all
