Two Totals For Thursday

[pacerfan]

Duke under 149'

Duke is 2-8 o/u last 10.
IU is 2-5 o/u last 7.

IU will play good solid def. as usual; Duke will get their pts. but I don't see them breaking the 75 mark.

Arizona under 148

Arizona is 3-7 o/u last 10.
Oklahoma is 1-4 o/u last 5.

Oklahoma plays great D, they will slow the tempo and force Arizona to play half court. See this game going to Arizona in a 60-57 type game.

Today:

Illinois +6

Kansas had problems w/ Holy Cross, blew out a weak stanford team, and now Illinois. I think that Illinois will control the tempo of the game with the nations best point running the show. Don't see Kansas winning this game at all.

Good Luck

I think it could be a good game. Kansas is way too strong in every area. Hinrich will be the one controlling the tempo of this game. Think about it, Kansas went undefeated in the Big 12.

With you Stewy.....Kansas going undefeated in the Big 12 was no fluke...and as we are seeing....got at least 4 great teams in that conference.

No offense, but if(and I believe they will)put Hinrich on Williams he will get used and abused for 40 minutes. Illinois has the horses to run w/ Kansas. Final pt., Kansas has ALL the pressure on them. Illinois will play loose knowing that everyone had written them off when they stumbled out of the gate; Kansas is expected to make it to the final four if not win it all. I see them playing tight if they get behind...

You make good points and I am not totally disagreeig with you.

I think Illinois could play Kansas really tough tonight. What you don't understand is just how good Hinrich is. His Freshman year in the tournament he abused Jason Willimas although kansas lost. Hinrich IMO is the best guard in the country and their isn't anyone that will abuse him , especially Frank Williams. I just wanted you to know that Frank Williams couldn't hold Hinrich's jock strap. I think that is an important thing for you to know before placing a wager thinking that Williams will abuse Hinrich. NBA scouts are drueling over Hinrich because of his court savy and well rounded game.

just because Hinrich is a white guy doesn't mean this guy is slow.....this guy is the fastest guy in the big 12 behind Ford and maybe even faster than him, i don't know....

he is unreal and his only drawback is he plays a little too fast once in a while.....Frank Williams will not eat his lunch....besides Kansas plays good help defense unlike many other conferences big 12 that is a prerequisite....i doubt he will guard him though Hinrich usually guards other teams 3 man....

NBA scouts at 1st Mizzou/Kansas game came to see Gooden and Rush and Hinrich impressed them all....they like him more than Rush as they should because he is more athletic...

 

[pacerfan]

Point well taken. But what about Hinrich's ankle? Williams is one of those players that can turn it on and off when he pleases. He has def. shown that in the first two games of the tourny. It will be a great game.

Hinrich looked 100% against Stanford.

Kansas went on a 15-0 run without him. Then he came in and was flying up and down the court like he was never even hurt.
