Did the line really move from -3.5 to +4 or am I seeing that incorrectly? If so, that is a massive line move for CBB.

I see MSU favored by 3.5, which for a home game is roughly a pick-em. They've mostly covered this season.

I'm honestly a little surprised MSU is favored. We are the better team and have the best player on the floor...

I wonder how Mr. Bando, a graduate of UIUC, feels about his perfectly reasonable article being twisted around by its headline.


Bando quotes Underwood in saying that if recruits don't want to work hard, they don't have to come to play here. The wording is very reasonable and I don't think anything a coach isn't expected to say. But the headline. Oh, the headline.

I saw this also. So dumb.

Bam on Fears? Think if we can lock him up and make him have a difficult game, we coast.

Also hoping we dare these guys to shoot the 3, they are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in college basketball.

Should have been titled Every Day Guys Culture, and then tied working hard and intelligently to achieve long term goals

Yes I understand that part. My surprise (and subsequent fear of how the game is going to play out) has to do with the 8 point swing in points in a matter of 36 hrs.
The line opened at MSU -3.5. I don’t believe it has swung much at all.

I saw another post mentioning a line but they were pulling up the football game from November that showed Illinois as a 3.5 favorite. That might’ve been the confusion.

Going by others posts yesterday, it opened Fri evening with Illinois as 3.5 point favorites. Yesterday MSU was 1.5 point fave when I looked sometime early afternoon. As of an hour ago (last I looked) MSU was 4 point favorite.

The line just reflects betting. Too many people were betting on MSU, so the line changed to get more action on Illinois.

Lines change based on the action of the most competent bettors with the most accurate models, not based on the general public.
