Bags Wed **Illinois vs Northwestern**

Northwestern +3.5 (small)

In the surface…96-66 recent beating + Illinois gets Shannon back? -3.5 seems like a no brainer…

There were a some improbable things that happened in that 1st mtg…Illinois shooting 62% FG, 55% from deep, & 80% FT. Not very likely to happen again….calculated about 24 pts less on Illinois averages…im also counting on Collins (more than capable) of correcting some defensive strategies. Watching the 1H recap of that game and there were some unlucky bounces that went against NW.

More importantly…NW is sitting on the edge of making the tourney..I would say winning this game is pretty important.

NW +3.5

@LB_Dirtbags

Northwestern shot 8-16 from 3s (50%) 

@ home only reason would consider them, on the road they are not good at all… 

good luck   Believe im going be on the other side tonite 

Illinois-2.5 

also bc gettting there player back 

@LB_Dirtbags

 Now you’re back to taking what doesn’t look good b/c Illinois looks to be the enticing side in this one. Northwestern side doesn’t look good but that side tends to win for you. 

on other side BOL 

@LB_Dirtbags

 Yep when it seems like a no brainer,you bet the other side or no bet.

Illini all eve , but gl  nonetheless and thanks for sharing.

Good luck Bags.  

Illinois is on my hit list of teams ranked higher than they should be…metrics are high, but they barely pass the eye test. 

Nice! GL BAGS

Thanks for posting 

Fill er Up! GR8 Play!!

Great game but a big FAIL on the court rush.

Good hit! +2.5 

still would cashed if Illinois won it at end with last shot…  Mayb only way lost is if Northwestern don’t make that shot at end to tie and force OT… 

none the less —??

Thanks for the nw play
