Illinois travels to Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN
11-20-08 to take on the Commodores
Vandy opens a 6 point home chalk
Vandy opens the season at 2-0 without
3 top scorers from last year 26 win squad...
They are young and brings in one of the best recruiting
classes in school history ranked 15 by rivals
and 25 by scout.
A Look at Vandy
The strength of this team is up front
led by Ogilvy who is a monster to contain
they also front that with 6-11 Festus Ezeli
from Nigeria (coach says he has a wing span
of 7-5)
They are a very good free throw shooting
team, put them on the line and you pay.
The Guard play is the sore spot, starting
guard has barely seen the floor in two
years and so far he is not that good
(expect Illinois man to man defense to cause problems)
These are 2 Teams with exact opposites of
Strength and Weakneses.
Coach Weber of Illinois and Coach Stallings
of Vandy spent 6 years together under Gene Keadey
at Purdue
I expect a low scoring affair with more floor
burns than fouls......
Illinois will counter with some young
trees inside, they dont move well to the post
inside but rebound alot better than the
front court of Vandy
Carpets Pick
Take Illinois and the points, the only thing
Vandy has got is inside play, control that
and you got your self a game, and I think
Illinois defense will cause Vandy some problems
