Line is 17.5 as of this morning. On BTN, Colgate is favored to cover the spread.
I would think that the ILLINI will win albeit not easily, they can negate their only real paint presence in Records, the better they can do this, the larger the win.
Colgate is sitting atop of the Patriot league, and that is obviously not the B1G. But they will play us tough and keep the game close throughout.
Prediction ILLINI 78 - Colgate 71

Colgate is a good program. they have appeared in the last 4 NCAA Tourney's and are usually a upset pick by some
A noon 12pm start, I sure hope we come out motivated

DGL finally sees the floor and immediately heaves a terrible 3 and takes a circus shot at the rim. 🤦🏻

They should listen to Beach Bum and practice 3s and Free Shots every practice.

Free shots haven't been an issue today thankfully

Didn't cover the 17.5

Looks like we are down to basically an 8 man rotation with the bench playing a modest role.
People comment on the offense looking sluggish. We are 328th in Assist rate and 253rd in FT rate. Not sure how that will improve a lot. I do think the 3 point shooting is settling in around 32-33% which is OK.
Teams that stop the TSj one man fastbreak and dives to the hole will be a challenge for us the rest of the way and we will be playing teams with better scouts.
Will be a lot of close tough games. Hard to say how we develop but should be 2-3rd in BT.
