Duke in a tight game with Wake Forest.

Ohio St has looked pretty dang good. Let’s see how they handle Rutgers’ comeback. Their size could give Illini some problems.

Rutgers is broken right now. Lose to an OSU team at home who’s missing one of their top 3 players in Walker. Not to mention all the smack Myles Johnson was talking after the December 23rd loss.

Biggest guy that gets minutes 6’8”? Playing Liddell at center at 6’7”. Don’t see size as a problem. Got Kofi in foul problems last year. Kofi should feast and Ayo and Belo should cause them foul problems.

Height isn’t the only component of size. Obviously they don’t have anyone of Kofi’s height or even weight, but their frontline is 6-7 and 240, 6-8 and 225, and 6-7 and 215. And they have Key at 6-8 and 245 coming off the bench. Although he only played about 10 minutes, I was impressed with him. They out rebounded a team in Rutgers by 34 over 2 games that out rebounded the Illini by 1 in the one game.

Illini have a clear advantage over the Buckeyes in the backcourt, and I expect us to win. But still think OSU’s size will give the Illini some issues.

Watching DePaul game and Paulicap has forced 3 charges — two recently. He tried to pickup another and was called for blocking, and the announcer said “heat check” on the charges. Pretty good line.

Baylor vs TCU Baylor had 33 of 67 points from turnovers and second chance. Defense and rebounding tough to beat. Takes a lot of pressure off of half court offense. Think BU knows the analytics?

UK vs UF in big SEC match up and neither team is ranked. Who would've thought that at the beginning of the year?

Lead on rebounds and turnovers consistently....and you will win.
