Illini open a 10 point chalk on the road vs
NW the O/u is 118....
After a tough road loss to Indiana, Illinois is looking
to regain it's swagger....
A few words from the coach of Illinois in preparing for NW...
BW: Bill has a great system. They will play zone the whole time. 3/4 press, back to 1/3/1, back to matchup zone. Switch everything. We will have to be very sharp, move the basketball, punish them inside. On the other end, have to be very disciplined. We know how to guard it but can we do it on the road with the crowd getting after you, not breaking down. It wasn't a win [today]. Two years ago [at IU] we found a way to win the game. But at least maybe it was a momentum builder, understand how to play on the road. You're going to have to win some road games if you want to compete for the Big Ten Championship.
Every thing I look at says Illinois will cover the 10 and the Over in this game.
Good Luck to all
