Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball
4 Unit Play. #554. Take Illinois -6 over Wisconsin (Saturday @ 4pm est). I sat around this morning waiting for this line to down to -6 before releasing this play. After all, ever half a point makes a difference right? I have rode Illinois countless times this year. I believe in this team. This is the same team that went on the road to defeat Vanderbilt outright, defeated Purdue outright on the road in OT, who has hammered UGA by 31, Indiana by 30+, Michigan at home by 15, covered against Michigan State and currently sits at 17-3. This team is good and they are deep with the addition of Kentucky transfer Alex Legion who has done nothing more than added much needed depth, a big presence inside and another powerful scoring option down low (he was the leading scorer for Illinois in the game at Michigan State). Remember, Illinois went into the half leading by 7 in that contest at Michigan State. Wisconsin is a good team that has great coaching. But, this team has now lost 3 in a row. They are 3-3 in conference play. They just come off an outright loss to Iowa on the road and prior to that lost to Minnesota at home. Normally, I would not go against such a desperate team but there is caveat here. For starters, Wisconsin beat Illinois both times last year sweeping them. Illinois remembers that here b/c their incoming freshman class was decimated with transfers such as Eric Gordon who committed to Illinois and then switched to Indiana at the last second. Either way, Gordon ended up for just 1 year in Indiana and then ending up with the Clippers. Oddly enough Indiana's program is in disarray while Illinois came back with a vengeance and now sits at 17-3. Illinois remembers those two losses by double-digits, but at home and away, and have come back this year with a drive second to none. The Badgers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Big 10, Illinois has covered their last 7 games in front of their faithful Saturday crowd and are 4-0 ATS with the spread at this margin at home.
Good luck,
Indian Cowboy.
