HOme game for Illy

The NCAA had definately made it clear they want Ill in the final four, but if they get into an uptempo, 94 foot game with Zona, they'll be in SERIOUS trouble. I'm not sold on the Illini either. Thety've had a very easy draw so far.

This crowd is going to be going crazy....it will be a HUGE advantage with the home court. Illy snatched up all the remaining tickets from UWM and OKie St. Confined arena, it will be loud. Zona will have to shut the crowd up early, but I don't think that will happen. Ovbiously Im an Illini homer but they will have a great plan to stop Salim...I think Illy gets it done on the defensive end.

Illi needs to just put 2 guys on stoudamire and not let him touch the ball.

sounds simple enough, eh??

 

[cadillacman]

zona has a very good chance imo..they have the athlets to play w/the illini.

definitly like +5

Illinois has played 36 games, 35 of them have been won by Illinois by 5 or more.

My local has a guy who bets with him for another office and he has hit his last 4 games for a total of 85,000$. Just check my pthreads in the college hoops forum. Tonite he handed my local 27,500$ and put it on Illinois -5 for tomorrow night. i'll be posting this game later tonite with another for tomorrow. You might say the "DUE FACTOR" here for a loss. But my money is following this guy and u'm sending it in on Illinois!

Illinois might have won 35 out of 36 by 5 or more but they wouldn't have that stat against Arizona so whats the point ? Love AZ and the points

 

[nimue77]

Well they did beat every single tourny team they played by double digits and handed most of them their worst loss of the year - including wake forest, gonzaga, cinicinnati, wisconson, michigan state, and others

I think you njust made my point since none of those teams are as good as Arizona

 

[Jpasco]

Arizona should have lost to an average okst team how they gonna compete with Illinois?

What who has Zona beaten away from home? Just looked over their resume and quite frankly I'm less impressed than I thought I would be.

 

[REDEYE]

shoulda woulda coulda lost to a average Ok St team. Fact is I'm always impressed teams that can win in the clutch like they did.

 

[nimue77]

Arizona has essentially played nobody good other than Washington - and washington is not in the same league as Illinos.

 

[REDEYE]

They were saying the same about USC in football too that they haven't played anybody and were in a weak conference. Who cares who they have played and haven't played.

 

[nimue77]

Michigan State is better than Arizona and so is Wake Forest.

[REDEYE]

from the sound of this thread AZ shouldn't have made the tournament
