Not just ESPN Vegas has Illinois -1.5.

Actually ESPN has us 52.6% to win. I think we win by 7.

From the tips of your fingers to God's ears.

We were healthy when played a very young Duke team .

The Duke team when played Illinois was more experienced and Illinois was not healthy .

Now Illinois is healthy and running at all cylinders… they will also have the advantage of the crowd.

Coaching I think is evenly matched. Our advantage will be our more experienced guys but even that is questionable since Butler who really has NCAA tournament experience is nowhere to 100%.

We are going to have our hands full . I hope Pope , coaching staff and the boys can pull a miracle.

Makes sense. We are limping into the Big Dance without our leading scorer, Carr still sore and Butler wearing a brace.

Otega is our leading scorer @16.5.

Vegas is usually right. The bigger thing for me is I do not feel good about this one. Very much hope I am wrong.

let the pressure be on Illinois, this is their best team in years and still mid af.

… we had an objectively better team literally last year that won a Big Ten championship and made the Elite Eight…? 🤣

You can have confidence in your own team without feeling the petty need to tear down your opponent, let alone making stuff up in the process.

We are the walking wounded, I get it. No telling what you get with us.
