2 Unit Play. Take Indiana Hoosiers +10 over Illinois (POD)
Congrats on St. Bonny yesterday as they defeated Umass Outright with a big second half outscore the minutemen by 15. We have now secured winning week 5 of 6 in college hoops as we keep the cash coals rolling. In fact, that is in addition to the 8 straight weeks we have won in the NBA as we look for the 9th straight winning week in the NBA on Tuesday when the regular slate of games in the Association resumes. Once again, we hit 64% in January hoops and we are at that same mark in February. For today's game, let's roll with my favorite conference - the Big10. The other conferences that I enjoy focusing on including the Atlantic 10, the Metro Atlantic and the Ivy League. As per this game, I've written about Tom Crean and how much I enjoy him as a coach. Check the archives of the site and you will see an article that I wrote on February 10th entitled, "Cowboy Cashes with Crean". That article was written prior to the Hoosiers going into Minnesota and losing by just 8 points to a Gopher team that was coming off one of the worst losses of the season. I have faded Indiana at the right times (on the road for example at Illinois) and I have backed them at the right time (at home when they have played the likes of Iowa and won outright). This team does have talent despite having plenty of non-scholarship players at one point. Look, Crean can flat out coach. He is one of the hardest working and best coaches in America. In essence, he is white Tubby Smith in many ways if you look at his track record. Crean has slowly turned this rag tag players into a competitive bunch - at home - in the Big10. Heck, remember, this team nearly beat Michigan Outright at home after having a big lead and lost to them in OT (still covered the spread). I was on Indiana then too. This team took Minnesota down to the wire at home while 73% of the public was on the Gophers who were road chalk at Bloomington and covered the spread. This team saddled up and beat Iowa at home for their first conference win and to their credit, although they did not cover against Ohio State, they had a scoring drought of several minutes and at one point were only down 2 points at the 10 minute mark so they could have easily covered that game. Look, if someone came up to me and said they would give me 10 points in a total of 122, I would jump all over it. After all, this is a rivalry game. Remember, I rode Illinois as my 5* Big 10 GOM (which is 9-0 lifetime btw with 5* at 30-8 lifetime). Illinois routed this team by a score of 76-45 - but that was back in January 10th. And, the Hoosiers have improved drastically since that game. I like Indiana coming off a loss as they return home. Let me ask you something (and this is coming from a guy that has rode Illinois for more ATS covers than any team this year), what has Illinois done on the road this year of late? This team did beat NW by 1 point (but failed to cover - than God, I was on NW that game earlier this week for my pod), this team lost to Wisconsin by 13 on the road and this team lost to Minnesota by 23 on the road being held to 36 points. Heck, Indiana was far more competitive against Minnesota at home and on the road. Normally, I would place this game with higher value, but we have secured the winning week in cbb already. I think this is great value personally and would not be surprised to see a swing game back and forth as Indiana likely loses by single-digits and according to my numbers the 10 digit dog has a 32% chance of winning outright. Let's all be Hoosier fans today as the Hoosiers are 4-1 ATS following a SU loss and the Fighting Illini are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road contests
