  • ILLINOIS vs Miami Ohio Mens NCAA Basketball

    The Illini basketball team plays Miami Ohio
    Dec 20 at Assembly Hall.

    This Illini basketball team is still in a state of
    finding itself, and Miami of Ohio will be no help.

    A Look at the RedHawks

    Won vs Xavier
    Lost vs USC by 3 points
    Won vs Miss St
    Lost vs Dayton by 1 point
    Lost vs Louisville by 3 points
    Won vs Indiana State by 16
    Lost vs Wright State by one point

    This Red Hawk team has a RPI of 49
    and a number 4 ranking of Strength of
    Schedule.

    The RedHawks 4 losses this year have come by
    a combined 9 points (2 of those by one point)

    This team will come to play featuring three of
    the MAC conference top players.

    They will play a very physical Half Court
    game.....

    A Look at Illinois


    A team that has no offense and Defense
    is Suspect.....

    This Illini squad seems to play as if they are
    waiting for some one else to make a play....
    Very very out of sync.

    No guard play to speak of , Free throw shooting
    is a joke and the only bright spot is defense.

    Last night vs WCU Illinois shot 17% from three
    point land that is 3 for 17 vs nothing more than a
    scrappy team. That sucks. (Illini did not cover 23.5)

    CARPETS FLOOR VIEW

    When the schedule came out one game I circled
    on the Calender was Miami Ohio Red Hawks as a
    possible Look ahead game for Illinois.

    Next up for Illinois DEC 22 is Missouri
    The Battle for the Gateway Huge game .

    This scrappy team from Ohio called the
    RedHawks will come to play.

    Carpet sees a very Physical Half Court
    type game as both teams play a grinding Defense.

    My early numbers show Illinois by 4
    no more no less than 4 points.....

    ILLINOIS - 8.5

    The line opens Illinois -8.5

    I was slightly taken back by that number
    so went to discover why.....so here is why

    The RedHawks Michael Bramos is questionable
    6-5 fwd sat out last game and is very doubtful
    for the Illinois game.

    With Bramos out << twilight zone for me.

    Bramos averages 35 minutes of PT per game,
    10 points and 5 rebounds per game, thats hard
    to lose.

    The Redhawks are really a good shooting team
    from the field, In one game this year they shot
    70% from the field.

    Based on the injury report the Carpet
    is pulling this pick of -4 OFF the BOARD

    My focus now must turn to the O/under
    and I dont have that number at present time

    I look for a game that will be sloppy, brutal
    to watch and a low scoring affair....First one
    to 50 wins type games.

    More to follow ....

      Rumor has it that Bramos of the redhawks
      will play tonight

      The Line has moved to Illinois -10.0

      I am going to make a very small play
      on Miami of Ohio

      Just dont think Illinois will blow this team out

      Good Luck all
