Illinois at Michigan? Carpet? Woodee?

Any thoughts tonight?

[Carpet]

I posted under woodees week thread, but will share my thoughts

A Few more STATS for this game

Michigan RPI 142 with a Strength of Schedule 81
Illinois 68 .........................................49

Michigan at home is 8-5 this year and sporting a kiss your
sister record of 13-13.

Michigan scores 64 points per game and holds teams to 62

They shoot 30% from beyond the arc (good for 315th place in the nation)

Manny Harris 6-5 Junior Guard and 6-8 Deshane Simms a Sr account for over 58% of all shots attempted for the year.

Now it would not take a rocket scientist to know if you stop the majority of shot production from only 2 players you could win this game.

Illinois has about a 53% chance of winning this game on the road and I have it at 69-64 Illini

Good Luck all

I agree.

This is a ABSOLUTE Must win game for Illinois lose to
a team with a RPI of 142 and the only dance you will be
going to is the NIT

A Must win game for Illinois and they know this

Look for Tisdale to have a big night inside vs Michigan

Illinois wins in a Slug Fest of bad play and great
defense and covers the spread on the road to keep
NCAA Playoff hopes alive.

Beating Michigan 51-44 in a Big 10 slug fest
a feat that the Illini have not accomplished in 3
years beating the wolverines at Michigan.

Illinois if they make the Dance could be one of
the most scary to face, cause they have looked
into the eye of other teams and play to that level.

Beat Vandy. Clemson, Mich State, Wisky all top
teams this year.

A team that is getting better every game keep your
eye on the Illini
