Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[jumpingjack]

Uhm, this is on BTN correct?

 

[GallopingGhost]

I’m predicting 82-68 us.

I like to look at the line and play what if I were in Vegas. Would i take illinois on the money line? -1400. So i bet 1400 to win 100. I think i’d do it. It’s like an easy $100, unless…..

For one game, betting a heavy favorite money line is probably easy money and fine. But doing that in the long run expecting to make money isn’t gonna work. Cause one will be upset, then boom you’re out about 1000 bucks which took you 10 games to make

Correct.

Like the message Brad is sending by starting RJ.. try to instill as much confidence before post season and hope he can get right, especially against the lower end teams.

We have an onion butch announcing crew tonight.

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Have we hired Garcia’s stepdad yet?

 

[jumpingjack]

I'd much rather listen to Mike Latulip call this game. Somebody get that man a BTN color analyst job now!

I’d never do it for real, but for tonight i’ve got a pretend $1400 on us to win.

 

[Goillinikobd]

RJ gets the start, good.

 

[Jimbo]

Hey, i didn’t know Mayer was from Austin. Maybe i’ll see him around town this summer.

 

[dwpittman]

Hoping RJ finds his groove. Let's go!

I would’ve started Luke.

However

Trust coach 100%. Hopefully this is Rj’s breakout game.

 

[InDaAZ]

Please, Mr. Basketball, fly true and straight through the ring tonight for our guy, RJ…

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Ohhhh I love what that could have been.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Oops. These are tonight's officials-

Broadcast had the wrong ones apparently

 

[aaeismacgychel]

It didn't count but absolutely love the aggressiveness on the boards by RJ. Those are winning effort plays.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

I would’ve started Luke.

Nah. Luke brings scoring off the bench. RJ can defend, rebound and doesn’t have to get his in the initial group.

 

[Coop70]

Minny coaches unis look like Star Trek.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Pretty pretty move by Epps. Good start

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

RAMSES!!!
