I like the Hoyas tonight. I like LSU tonight. And if Wake wasn't coming off that huge win against the Heels I would like them but have seen too many times teams having big thud games right after a win like that, and they have another big game with #10 Clemson on Saturday. Two bad spots for Wake for me to trust tonight, letdown spot and lookahead spot.

problem i have with going with GT is this is a rivalry game and in these bigger, heated conf games it usually comes down to the end. the stats edge for sure goes to GT but which GT shows up?

lsu i agree on only because I think USC is very overrated and might get exposed here.

On a more serious note, Baylor isn't really that good away from home. But I really think they should win this game pretty easily. But I am a homer so take it for what it is worth.

yeah sorry...I forgot that one.

Im still waiting for ILL to show their true colors, but the same can be said for MICH.

every game MICH plays you gotta wonder what kind of shooting night they are going to have.

low scoring game tonight IMO

Why I like Illinois tonight. If Michigan is not hitting their jumpers they are in trouble and usually this comes more into play when a young team is on the road than at home. Michigan got the double digit win at home last week and I fully expect that Illinois will return the favour tonight. Also doesn't hurt that this is a home unranked favourite up against a ranked away dog system play.

sad to say, but I think the bears will be too much for my Aggies... even at home - we just don't have it this year. I can't wager against my team (although I've done it once and won), just can't do it on this one...

Take the Bears...
