NCAAB 2/17 - Illini -2.5 @ Maryland

[djefferis]

Been a while since I’ve given out a play.

2 different styles of play here - given the Illini the edge here for a much more agressive pace of play.

Feel Shannon has a big game here.

Also liking South Carolina in a bounce back game -6.5 vs LSU

I was thinking Maryland. Might switch back

I don’t know I cannot stand taking conference road teams

I don’t know I cannot stand taking conference road teams

Illinois is 3-2 ATS on the road in Big10 play
Maryland is 3-3 ATS at home in Big10 play

I like the play and am looking it over for my own card now.

Maryland won at Illinois last month.
I see Illinois coming back for a little revenge.

This is a great play. Glad you found it on this massive CBB card today.

Well South Carolina folded with about 6 minutes left.

Illini leading by a point at halfway through the first frame.

Easy win, ILLINI are force

Yea - the cover wasn’t as simple - but never felt like Illini would lose and Shannon had 27 points as Illini imposed their pace of play on the Terps.

Nice to get a W and not see a team fall apart in the last 5 minutes. Happens way too often in college hoops.

The Illini have the strength and will that many teams don't have. They are a special group this year. I expect them to go deep in the tournament.

Good call the Illini seem like they’re built for this tournament

Definitely a final four caliber team. If they make it is a different story.
