MasterCapper's Sunday Game of the Century

Just kidding

But ... I really like Indiana (+10.5) today at home against Illinois. The "fighting" Illini are very on the road. They have lost four of their last five away from Assembly Hall and on Friday barely got past Northwestern, an improved team yes, but still a team that needs . Illinois has been a very team all season long, and frankly, watching them play makes me want to . It seems like forever ago that Bruce Weber guided his team (OK, Bill Self's) to the brink of a national championship.

Anyway, why Indiana? Well first off they got destroyed last meeting at Illinois and will be seeking some This team is good, but doesn't have the consistency or the reliability to be laying this type of number against a rival, especially the way Indiana has played as of late (covering at home as dogs).

Now onto Indiana. Dumes, after his little episode a week ago, should be back. I have been scouring numerous Indiana papers this morning and the prevailing opinion is that Dumes has been remorseful for his actions, and that Crean might let him play in front of the sellout crowd on CBS.

I do think that Dumes understands what he did was a , and that he needs to win back some fans today. Will he play well? Well, I ... but even if he doesn't that's okay!

Indiana has fresh legs and hasn't played since Feb. 10, and coming off a pair of road losses I think they are in a great spot here. Tom Crean is a great coach and he is molding this young group into winners. The foundation is being laid every day, and a signature win -- not just a cover, a win -- will go a long way toward boosting morale and IU's "image."

Look for Indiana to cover the big number in a REVENGE game!!!
