#25 Illinois at #8 Alabama Tonight CBB - POLL: Who's got the edge?
- Thread starter Tanko
- Start date
Should be a good game. Line is -8.5 Bama. Seems a little high IMO.
Both team love to run. Tempos 72+ each. 166.5 total could be in jeopardy.
The first real test for Illini this year.
Bama coming off the tough road loss to Purdue last Friday.
BMR prediction has it right at the spread.

I was on this path at first glance then I realized Illinois hasn't played anyone so I backed off. They have a great team but only 1 returning starter.I think Illinois could win this game outright and the moneyline isn't a bad look at all, especially at these levels.
I can some forecasts that have Illinois winning, but my confidence in those extremem ones is not too high, though it exists.

With the variance calculator you graced the forum with the true fair line is Illini +9.5. The bookmakers forgot to add variance. Good luck KVBsterI think Illinois could win this game outright and the moneyline isn't a bad look at all, especially at these levels.

Go Illini !!!!4 minutes
In my landers voice “ do you watch basketball “?Illini not as good as last year
You’re a candy ass Landers. Move out of Champaign. You aren’t wanted there.Alabama pushed their shit in tonight
Game was never competitive
They have zero returning startersIllinois defense was nowhere to be found.
The illini have some good transfers and incoming freshman but returning only 1 starter hurt.
