31.7% with AJ. 25.4% without AJ. Yeesh.
Definite advantage for UNLV. We will be playing most of the game after midnight our time
KenPom has us as 3 point dogs. I expect the spread to be a little higher after yesterdays performance.
Gonna be tough. UNLV pounded a very good Utah team a couple weeks ago. They're two loses are to Arizona and at Northern Iowa (both in OT). I expect a close one, but another close loss.
I'm afraid that their big guy will give us fits but, then, he is a freshman and we all know they can have good games and bad games. Maybe we can make this one of his bad ones.
Plus, last time I counted, there are five players on the court at once. Maybe we can win at the other four positions.
Lots of maybes, but call me an optimist.

That's an issue for 18-22 year old kids? Sure wasn't when I was that age. Heck, a lot of parties didn't start until 11:00 pm.
Well it all sounded good until a read that score prediction...YEESH no one is scoring 100 plus haha. Id look for a more of a game in the 70s or 80s.
I would say 77-71 Illini.
Ha ha. Yes, had my tongue in cheek on that prediction.
I have absolutely no idea what the score will be -- maybe their big guy has a great day and they take us by 10 or 15 points or maybe we find a way to shut him down and sneak out of town with a win.
All I'm guessing is it will be an entertaining game!
Go Illini!

How many overtimes?
What weird parties were you attending that demanded you play 40 minutes of high-level basketball?
Not sure how to feel about Crean calling an Illinois game. So strange haha
