The big 10 banger is on Illinois. Game 846 at 7:30 eastern. The Illini are 9-2 with 5 or 6 days rest and have won 4 of 5 off a loss. They are a solid 12-1 at home. In games after scoring 60 or less they have won 3 of 4. Michigan St is a dismal 2-6 vs top ranked RPI Scale teams. Most will be on the Spartans tonight simply because they have revenge for a 59-54 home favored loss as a 9 point favorite. However digging deeper we see than Michigan St has lost 5 of 6 when playing with home loss revenge and 5 of 6 as a road dog of 3 or less. Illinois will be motivated for this one on their home floor. Take Illinois.
