  • ILLINOIS VS PENN STATE 2-18 Mens NCAA Basketball

    Illinois 21-5 takes on the Nittany Lions 18-8

    The Illini are looking at a sell out for this game
    and home cooking will be needed.

    Some Early thoughts from the floor

    Illinois has a hard time with teams that have
    a 2 guard offensive punch, Guards that can beat
    you with a dribble down move and create.

    Penn State basketball team is no slouch
    they have 3 really good players,

    Battle a 5-11 guard who is scoring 18 a game
    this kid can beat you from any where.

    Pringle a 6-1 guard, another sharp shooter
    avg 14 a game

    Conley a 6-5 super forward who can
    really play some defense and he scores 15 a game.

    PSU IS IN A SLUMP


    A offensive slump to be exact

    Penn State in the last 3 losses where held
    to its lowest point total per game for the season

    51 in a loss to Mich....
    44 in a loss to Wisky
    47 in a loss to Purdue

    (they did beat Minny at home this saturday scoring
    68)

    During these 3 games Penn State has averaged
    47 points a game (23 below season average)

    The 3 headed monster they have on offense
    is shooting bricks at 35% from the floor and
    24% from long range.

    Battle and Pringle of PSU is a combined
    16-70 thats 21% from the field and only
    10% from three point land.....

    The teams they lost to was
    Michigan, Wisky and Purdue
    all who play clamp down defense....

    This game is shaping up to be a good one
    and Carpet thinks early on that Illinois defense
    and being at home will be enough to win
    this game.

    My early numbers say Illinois by 7

    More to follow

    Illinois opens a 10 point early chalk
    that is an awful lot of points.

    The line maker must be looking at the film
    of Purdue 61- Penn State 47 (without Robbie Hummel)

    You can bet that Coach Weber is pouring over
    the Blue Print left for him by Purdue.

    Illinois defense is ranked # 7 according to Pomeroy
    Penn State defense is 107.

    Stopping the three headed dragon of Penn
    State is the absolute key in holding them
    under 50 points.

    My early numbers said Illinois by 7, this
    opening line of 10 requires more study

    Will be back later with my Final Pick
    regarding the Spread

      the Line is at 9.5 and after review
      of Illinois defenseive numbers at home
      and Penn States offense on the Road
      Illinois should win this by 11

      My Pick Illinois by 9.5

        WTF?

        Did they call the game early or is that really the score?

        38-33 for div. 1 hoops. Please tell me they only played a half!

          One of the worst displays of offense I have ever seen
          Hell not even one free throw
