    Return game for last year when Illinois came down here to Hawaii.....

    Both teams only return one starter from that game........

    Although Hawaii is playing much better (3-2), I am cautious that this is this team's first road game........

    Obviously Coach Nash of Hawaii knows this........

    Just because you have a game plan though, doesnt mean it will materialize....but check this out.....

    From Today's Honolulu Advertiser:


    The 'Bows will have to be ready for an Illinois team that is allowing just 56.9 points per game and limiting opponents to a .398 field goal percentage.

    "They make you earn every basket," Nash said.

    But Nash added that the 'Bows would rather play a slow-paced game today.

    "We don't want to get into a running game at their place," he said. "We're going to value each possession — work the shot clock until we get a good shot."

    I noticed this young Illinois squad has not beaten some pretty bad teams by 23 points (Eatern Washington (16), Texas CC (19), Jackson State (14)....but they did smash a lousy Georgia Team and did beat Vandy at Vandy......

    Gonna take a stab at both......

    Hawaii is off of 7 days rest and has been up there for awhile......they should play some semblence of defense.....I dont think they will score much though on their first road trip.....

    Georgia is off of only 1 day rest and a 34 point thrashing of Georgia.......

    Hawaii's fear is getting blown out......here is to some clock killing and a respectable final score....

    Hawaii +23 440 to win 400

    Under 129 440 to win 400

    +23 is a lot of points & i too think it will fall below the number for us Hawaii backer. I have been seeing Big spread have not been covered a lot lately.. hawaii is not too good but Ill. have not blow out anyone either. Will take my chances here for the back door cover with Hawaii. Hope Ill. sit their starter with a big lead..

    Definately like the under here. 
     
    Illinois -23 =   Hawaii backdooring this game scares me.  I could see the starters playing significant minutes tonight just because this is the next to last game before finals week (next game is 12/10 vs. detroit, then their off of 10 days).  Seems like a good no play for me.

    So Hawaii is going to play not to get blown out?  If this is the case I would lean under.  However I think they Illinois will not fall into the slow tempo and make hawaii try to score too... Which is where I would lean over.  This Illini team isnt going to blow many teams out.  But this might just be the spot. There is a reason why the line is so high... Im still looking for it...  Sorry didnt mean to come here like this...
