Illinois 10-2 (6-6 ATS) Missouri 10-1 (2-5 ATS)<\/strong>
\nWednesday December 22 – 9:00PM<\/strong>
\nIllinois vs. Missouri Odds<\/strong>
\nFighting Illini -1.5
\nO\/U 148.5
\nRecent history:<\/strong> Missouri won last year 81-68 at Mizzou<\/p>\n

Illinois was off to a very good start with wins over North Carolina, Gonzaga, Maryland and Oakland (I know, who would of though). \u00a0But in their last contest they lost to Illinois-Chicago in what is one of the more stunning upsets of the young season. Now they face off against their non-conference rival Mizzou with their confidence a little shaken. \u00a0Against Illinois-Chicago they shot the ball horribly, especially their senior frontcourt duo of Mike Tisdale and Mike Davis who were a combined 2 for 11, scoring 6 points in total. \u00a0That was against a Flames team not exactly knows for defense so it will be interesting to see how the Illini hold up against the Mizzou pressure. \u00a0This team needs PG Dametri McCamey to step up. \u00a0He is their best player and will be critical against the Tigers.<\/p>\n

Missouri has looked very good in prepping for what should be a tight year at the top of the Big 12. \u00a0With the exception of an OT loss to a very good Georgetown team they have won every game of this young season including a nice victory over a good Vanderbilt team. \u00a0However, you can tell from the ATS record that the schedule has been a little weak and they haven’t been dominating. \u00a0The Tigers lost some key guards from last year and are still figuring out their best five to put out there. \u00a0Meanwhile they have great balance with 5 players in double figures led by Marcus Denmon who is averaging 16 points per game. \u00a0He has been sizzling in the early going shooting 48% from three point land.<\/p>\n

Free Fighting Illini vs Tigers CBB Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the Tigers down a couple of key players due to suspension (Michael Dixon) and injury (Phill Pressey) the Illini should be able to gut out a close game<\/p>\n

Score prediction: \u00a0 Illinois 75 – Missouri 70<\/strong><\/p>\n
