Arizona vs. Illinois

[Illini1]

Current line I'm seeing is Illinois -2. I kind of expected Arizona to be favored here. Illinois doesn't have much of an offense this year, however they always play solid D and rebound well. I'm just not sure if they can score enough to hang with Arizona.

I haven't seen Arizona play this year, but based on the final scores, it looks like they played Kansas tough and handled Texas A&M.

I realize the Lute Olson situation might be a distraction for Arizona, but I think Illinois is getting too much respect based on their success the last couple years. This team is not nearly as good as the last couple years.

Obviously I'm an Illini fan, but I really like Arizona +2, unless somebody with more knowledge of the Arizona team can talk me out of it.

You've got the unranked favored over a ranked system going against you here. Been positive money maker over the years, but certainly isn't 100%. Just something you may want to consider.

Real early game for Arizona too.May be sluggish with game this early for them.

Arizona is going to win today. They will win today by 7pts.

They arrived in Chicago early and Lute has spoken to them....

They roll today..Plus they will play defense today as well.

Was anyone else wanting the T for the timeout at the end of regulation? Sure they would have lost the game, but they still would have covered and we could have watched the beginning of the Kansas game.

I meant to say nice call.

too bad he didnt even call for a timeout or actually officially signal for a timeout

makes for a nice story on all the websites (with the help of the refs) and for the cryin-illini fans but in the end, the better team won.
