I'm posting this about 10 hours too early but I figured, what the heck? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I followed and played the unranked favored vs ranked teams system last year but for tonight, I'm going with Illinois. This North Carolina team is just too unstable and inconsistent to be the favorite right now, in my opinion. I like the more experienced Illinois team to win. Yes, they lost Head, Powell and Williams, but they still have seniors Brown and Augustine to lead the way. NC meanwhile lost its top 7 scorers from last year and is playing mostly freshman and sophs. When it comes down to it, I'd rather have my money backing Brown to go off for a big game rather than the freshman assigned to guard him. And getting points is a bonus.
