Nebraska appears to be a bit over their head playing everynight in the Big-10. The Cornhuskers are 12-8 overall, but just 2-7 in Conference play, and have dropped six straight games. Looking closer, Nebraska has lost those games by 15.8 PPG. Illinois is 14-6 overall, and 6-4 in the conference. Just Michigan St. has fewer than four losses in the conference. Illinois has a scoring margin of 17 PPG, and clearly out-class Nebraska in most statistical categories. The Illini are one of the best rebounding teams in the country at +12 per game on the season. This one shouldn't be close. Make the play on Illinois.

The Illinois offense has been one of the top five in the nation for most of the season, but their regular season finale vs. Purdue and Iowa, along with their first Conference Tournament game has seen those numbers decline consideraby. Previous those last three games the Illini was averaging 88ppg over a 14 game stretch and scored 80+ in all but one. This hasn't been the same offense that went on a 17-2 run to the over prior to it. This team has been in the 70s for three straight games and the 88ppg average dropped to 73ppg over the last three. Illinois has a long history of playing UNDER the total as they are 222-177 to the UNDER in their last 399 games vs. a defense that allows 42% from the floor or less. Make the play UNDER the total.
