Opening line is 2.5

Wow--that is generous based on the last meeting less than a month ago.

 

[volhawk50]

I'm sure we were underdogs in about 15 conference games this season, so that doesn't mean anything.

 

[ihawkeye]

I like being the dog.

I like being the dog.

Sure about that?

 

[DexterMorgan]

what time is the game?

 

[1hawkeye1]

Both teams have stunk away from home. Seems about right to me.

 

[BlackandGold81]

Do you think Illinois fans will rush the court if they somehow manage to win?

 

[HawkForce]

Wow I feel like we should be about 8 pt dogs

 

[Hawkeye1313]

[Wassabbe]

Illinois sucks away from home. We suck away from home. I think we suck less. Iowa by 7

You wouldn't notice. The first round games are poorly attended. The place won't be close to half-full on Thursday.

 

[HawkeyeJim75]

I think Iowa is due to beat Ill. They have had our number. It is time when matters most, to beat them. I say Iowa by 5.

 

[ssckelley]

Put money on Illinois, Iowa is going to get smoked on Thursday.

Who is going to come out of their shell and help Gatens, White and Marble? I am tired of the same 2-3 guys not showing up game after game. Suck it up and get redemption for the choke job against NW. The teams owes Gatens for that debacle and it would be nice to see players who will remain nameless get more points than fouls, make good decisions with the ball and play with energy on both ends.

From the Monday night radio show, it sounds like it will be all hands on deck against Leonard (McCabe, Olaseni and Brommer). Is DArch hurt or in the dog house? I can't remember the last time he got on the court.
