Illini +2, Don't Overthink It!

[ElIguana]

The Illini have lost ONE GAME all year, and that was on a last-second miracle trey. Nuff said. Aside from this late-season letdown, NO ONE has beaten them all year. NO ONE. 37-1. And they are getting points!

Yes, I know Sean May is unstoppable. Yes, I know UNC has 6 future NBA players in uniform. Yes, I know Roy Williams is destined to break "the curse" tonight.

Betting public is overreacting to Sean May hype and IL close call to AZ. Public perceives IL as "lucky" to pull out a win vs. AZ rather than acknowledging the fact that IL played 37 minutes of crappy basketball and were still able to pull it together down the stretch and hit the big shots when needed.

Don't overthink this one, fellas. Take the team with the best record +2 for 1 unit and enjoy the game. GLTA

The thing I am wondering is..............IF the public is all over UNC........why has the line that opened at -3 now at -1.5???

I am surprised the line has now moved off that magical 2.............hmmm.......

Interesting. I was just going by which team was getting points and by the posts I have seen on the Rx, haven't specifically tracked the action. When the #1 team with the best record is getting points from the #2 team, it appears that the action must be on the #2 team. Most posters here in the Rx appear to be on UNC, but I haven't actually counted posts. Regardless, I think IL wins SU tonight. GL

FYI - Public is on Illinois.....
Any idiot can figure that out

3% Illini su
2% Under
1% parlay the 2, imo....
Should be a good game regardless of who we like.. glRx..

I didn't think the public ever bet moneylines.
