Larger than I expected. Usually a good sign.

Wow, no joke

About right.

Maybe the betting world is still trying to feel out the Terrance Shannon situation.

I feel that is the correct number. If it were 4.5 or 12 or higher, I would be nervous that the fix was in.

I expected 5.5 but none of that matters once they tipoff! It seems that Illinois has been BETTER without Shannon but that might be an anomaly and they are missing some depth now at the very least if we can start getting them in foul trouble. I think Vegas is just trying to figure that out still so we got a bigger number.

Boiler Up!

-10.5 on esp now. I suspect the line is based on logic of pur common opponet in Tenn. Illnois played @Tenn and Tenn won by a margin when they had Shannon. We beat Tenn on a neutral court with a margin.
