Illini to cover.Purdue 10.5 favorite??? Seems a bit excessive Vegas
IMHO CH will be a pivotal player in this one.
Purdue adjEM: 31
Illinois adjEM: 25
= 6 point advantage Purdue
Give Purdue 3 points for home court
Subtract 1 or 2 points from Illinois for missing an All American and voila, 10.5 pts.
And if I lived about 2 hours farther east, I would hammer Illinois to cover.
IMHO CH will be a pivotal player in this one.
Maybe a little to subtle attempt at humor?
So much for sarcasm.
You forget the phalanx of CoHawk critics on the Board. “/s” required under the circumstances.So much for sarcasm.
I focus on his struggles from 3 this year because when he finally figures it out he's going to be even more of a monster. And his career numbers, free throw percentage, and shot all suggest that he will get comfortable at some point.It’s crazy to me that so many analysts focus on Domask struggles from 3 this year yet he put up 2 games of over 30 without blowing up the 3 point line. How do people fail to highlight that efficiency if they are clearly box score hunting?
