Swampnuts Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm about to drop some change on the Illini/Badger game tonight. Anything you can add to sway me towards the badgers???? I know they're tough at home and the Illini can't stay up there forever. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm about to drop some change on the Illini/Badger game tonight. Anything you can add to sway me towards the badgers???? I know they're tough at home and the Illini can't stay up there forever. Thanks 672227[/snapback] You getting any points? Even though Illinois has been good for the past few years, the Badgers have always fared well against them. They've won the last five at the Kohl Center vs. Illinois, and they also beat them last year in the title game of the Big Ten Tournament (at the United Center). UW matches up well inside, but the guard play is definitely in favor of Illinois. One note that may be important - UW is 2nd in the Big Ten in 3 point shooting, while Illinois is last in 3 point defense. May be useful. Other than that, all I can tell you is that this is one of the most anticipated home UW men's bball games in the past 5-7 years. The Kohl Center will be absolutely insane tonight.

Fatman Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 PS - I apologize for encouraging non-football posts in this forum. I don't read any of the other ones (out side of FF advice, occassionally), so I wouldn't have seen this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 My book has Illinois giving 2. Being an Illinois fan, I'm thinkin' that the Badgers' home streak comes to an end tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatman Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Thanks Fatman, I'm going with the Badger plus 6 672345[/snapback] Glad I could help. You won't be disappointed (especially at +6, Christ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) Glad I could help. You won't be disappointed (especially at +6, Christ) 672372[/snapback] Yeah, getting six is a gift. This one's gonna be close, methinks. Hey Badger, how you like the avatar you're gonna use for the next week? ORANGE KRUSH, baby!

Unless darin has a problem with it, Chargerz you are more than welcome to join. 672370[/snapback] What? You don't have confidence in your OWN TEAM AT HOME to bet straight-up? That's pretty pansy, if you ask me. But OK, I'll bite and give you the measley 2 points. But when/if the Illini win by 1, believe me it will be bittersweet.

jelap1 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 6pts is a huge gift indeed. Most I've seen is Illini -2.5. Doesn't really matter, the Badgers are gonna get spanked tonight! Here comes the three headed monster Badger's!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Ugh! Bo knows how to beat our boys. If Augistine and Powell can stay out of foul trouble, they'll most likely win. If not, it will be the Wilkinson show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the way that Weber's been sandbagging it and claiming the Illini are underdogs, I probably should have give you the two points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
