-6.5 ILLINI favored. 137.5 over/under

Key players to watch against us:

Banks for sure, he just got 20/6 against Florida. Against Nebby he only played 15 minutes and I am sure he was one of their focus' pregame. 16-7 against us during the season OFF the bench. Single digits both points/rebounds from him we win for sure.

Koch averages 3 3pt shots per game.
Stirtz is probably going to get 13-18 and if he is on the low side, we again win easily.
Folgueiras is a the true wildcard here, if he is allowed to get some steam and confidence, then we may have a tough fight. He was 8 and 8 against us in the regular season playing 34 minutes. My guess is he feels much better about his game today than he did then...probably should also.

ILLINI 80 vs Iowa 69 is my choice for a Final Four trip for us again!!!

Just saw Illini have won 10 out of the last 11 against the Hawk Tuah's....80-69 still going with my pick.

Mirkovic passed Kofi for the rebounding freshman record....I say put an exclamation point on it and get 15 today to add to that total. If he closes the tourney (all the way and we win), with a double double each game, he will tie Kofi all time for that as well 9-12 right now.

Everyone talks about the beating/bumping Keaton gets game in and game out....deservedly so, but can you imagine how Mirk feels going against multiple bigs all game every game.

Bring the same energy on the defensive end we bought against Houston and this should be a win.

Let's get it fucking done, boys!

Group of us got rooms downtown (near the Tempo; see pic) and are going to watch it somewhere on Broadway. Hopefully a big W to kick off the evening.

9-0 run but a cold blooded shot by Stirtz puts an end to that.
