  • ILLINOIS vs # 24 Vanderbilt Mens NCAA Basketball

    Vandy ranked 24 comes calling on Illinois Tuesday

    Illinois opens a 4.0 chalk at home.

    A LOOK AT VANDY

    6-1 with Quality wins over Missouri, Depaul
    Arizona and ST Mary CA. Only loss to a talented
    under rated Cinnci squad.

    The Coach is Kevin Stallings who played High School
    ball at Collinsville HS while I was a student there.

    Stallings went on to play for Purdues final 4 team
    and landed as a asst to Coach Keady at Purdue. Both
    Stallings and Coach Weber learned under coach Keady.

    You can bet that these two teams will be all out
    playing similar style of hustle and grit all game.

    Vandy is athletic, maybe the most athletic team they
    have ever had.

    BIG inside with a battleship 6-10 260lbs at center
    he will not be pushed around.

    Vandy is not that great at guard play, they rarely push
    the ball into the paint for the dish, and they rarely
    set up plays. Turnovers have been killing Vandy all
    year as these guards will turn the ball over alot.

    At the charity stripe they have two players who can
    make it almost every time, and these are the two players
    who get to the linbe most often. The rest of the team
    are brick layers from the old days from the free throw line.

    A LOOK AT ILLINOIS

    7-0 Tisdale and 6-10 Davis down low will be a tandem
    working on Ogilvy of Vandy down low. On offense
    these two will be more agile than Ogilvy down low.

    Both teams rebound badly, and both coaches are
    preaching that tonight to the players. For Illinois
    to win this game they must out rebound Vandy

    The guards at Illinois are just to quick for Vandy
    and if this game gets running it will favor Illinois
    on Offense and Defense.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    Illinois at home, playing off two wins, a clemson
    stunner and a Boise state sleeper, which team will
    show up?

    Illinois and Vandy will be a good game to watch
    and I see Illinois pulling away late in this game
    just to many horses.

    Illinois 80 Vandy 70

    Like it!

    Plus it plays on the Unranked favored over ranked angle. Nice spot here for Illinois.

    I grabbed the -3.5.


    Take a look at Iowa over UNI too. I don't know about the whole game as Iowa gets beat in the 2nd half a lot, but maybe the +6 in the 1st half is the best play.
