There's a clear path here to winning 4 straight games, and making the tourney. That's the scary part. .....at ILL at worst a toss-up, home v. Rutgers, then Northwestern and a rematch v. Iowa in the BTT...then a probable 3rd loss to PU if we get that far.
Illinois is not playing as well lately, and has no particular incentive to play their butts off. RP is feeling better, and DG played reasonably well last game, so we should be able to protect the ball. Only 8 TOs last game, but Wisconsin doesn't create many, so I'd expect 12 or so. But ILL makes their share of mistakes and doesn't shoot it all that well. IU should have a lot of incentive to play.
IU 70, Illinois 66
IU ticks quite a few of my statistical matchup boxes vs Illinois. Considered taking a big swing on IU taking the 2.5 points, but dialed it down a little bit due to silly superstition. I had a bad feeling about this game, until I looked at it a little closer. Now I think IU wins unless they throw a ton of bricks at the free throw line... which is not out of the question.
