2/26 Games

Sunday never as interesting as Saturday, but there are several games of interest to Illinois fans I would say.

Butler at Xavier, 2:30, FoxSports Just a plain old good basketball game
Wiscy at MSU, 3:00, CBS When was the last time that someone was favored in East Lansing in late Feb?
Houston at Memphis, 4:00, CBS SN, l list this one because Houston is at our level of bubbly
USC at Az State, 5:30, Pac12 Net, USC just lost 3 in a row, but they close with some real weak sisters, so likely dancing
Syracuse at Louisville, 1:00, CBS One of them will have to lose . . .

Syracuse taking it on the chin, but that was expected in Louisville.
They only have one regular season game left, vs Georgia Tech at home. Expected to win. Its a shame, because they can be one of the teams to vacate a spot in the NCAA field if they lose another game.

Not sure why Xavier is such a high seed in most brackets?

I would add ND vs Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are also on the verge of being on the bubble and a win at ND could help them a ton. Game starts at 5:30.

Good catch.

MSU handles Wiscy

MSU playing some pretty good ball right now. They have won 4 out of their last 5 and just knocked off Wiscy.

That will be a tough one to win as we all thought. Even in a down year Izzo has them playing well by the end of the season. It's the Izzo way.

One thing we have going for us is they haven't been great on the road. They are 2-5 so far this year away from Breslin. (in conference)
