Dakich on the call. Hopefully, someone has his IU cutout made or he will be angry.

IU 72

ILL 71

Well, I might want to change this if what I'm hearing is true. Still not sure who will be available for tomorrow night

Can IU catch lightening in a bottle twice in the same season?

Over/under for this game is 141.5 and Illinois is a 2 or 3 point favorite.  That makes the implied result somewhere around 72-69 Illinois.

I'm wondering if this is a classic bounce game for Illinois.  They just squeezed by Iowa and could be set for a let down against a team that they have already beaten.  While Indiana is only 4-4 at home this year, Illinois is only 3-3 on the road and certainly susceptible to the upset.

Meanwhile IU has had over a week to get ready and heal.  Just like before the Iowa game.  Turn one of the overtime losses around and both Illinois and Indiana would be looking at 10-6 records, instead of 10-6 and 9-7.

I'm looking for an Indiana upset in a game where Illinois might not be their sharpest.  I make it 76-71 Hoosiers.
