Tune up time is over, and all teams head into
conf play....Thursday's deck is stacked......

# 7 Michigan State vs # 6 Illinois

# 3 Villanova at # 9 Louisville

# 17 UCLA at # 21 Arizona

# 47 Iowa at # 24 Wisconsin

The entire week is loaded with some great action.....

Tuesday......... Michigan plays Indiana (Always a good game)

Mark your calendar........Sun January 8 2006

Villanova is at home vs West Virgina, I look for this
to be the highest scoring game of the season in the
Big East this year......

I will be looking at each game (already have) very closely
and it's time to RING THE BELL................

Michigan at Indy

Michigan played clamp down defense on ISU
hanging to cover the spread.....

A few thoughts from the game

MU had Indiana's big man in trouble 4 fouls
in the 1st half and they failed to go after him
why MU ??

Indiana has shown they are prone to turnovers
and with a good outside DEFENSE the threes go away...

Yes Indy won the game, but MU exposed a few major flaws
early on that I will be factoring in.......

All eyes turn to Jan 5 2006, Michigan State coming
to the hall .......My thread will be posted.....

My Early line on the Illinois game Illinois by 8
