Call me Crazy, but does anyone besides me think Nevada can win su vs ILLINI?

[Kojak]

I truly think Nevada has a great chance of winning this game. They are a very strong rebounding team which can be an achilles heel for Illini, have tournament experience in this spot (ly vs Gonzaga), and could be taken lightly as a second round opponent. Any thoughts?

Kojak, I don't think they shoot the 3 well enough. Fazekas is their only threat from long distance. Sessions will get eaten up by Brown & Williams. Ill will get every call in the game. Too much stacked against them. 11.5 is a lot of points, but I layed it anyways. The Illini are due for a break-out game. They have been playing under their talent for 2-3 weeks now. They have 6 double digit wins vs ranled opps this yr (6-0). Nevada is o -for the season vs ranked teams

Meaningless stat for ya -

Somone posted stats about seeds winning percentages a few days ago. I'm not hunting down the post but I remember he said

90% of #1's playing #5's or lower have won SU. It was over the last 20 years, i think about 200 games (is that 20 years?)

So to answer your question, get Nevada at +900 or more I guess

casinoman, i just said this in another thread. SCRAM!!! MODS, can we get rid of this scum!!!



Kojak, I think Nevada needs to hang in their early and not let ilinois get out of the gate fast.I can see them hanging within the 11.5 but not sure about the outright here.

I agree Nevada is the play here, any thoughts on the O/U 131.5???????????

I agree Kojak. Illini really got exposed in the second Iowa game and haven't been the same since.

I think I would rather risk $600 on the spread to win $600 than $100 money line to win $600.

Shemp - Royal has 130 right now. Illini have played some unders with their shooting slump. I think it will end up in the 140 range for a final.

I think they should at least cover.
