In this one we see a real hot Fighting Illini team take on the Cinderella story Chattanooga Mocs in Pittsburgh at PPG Paints arena.
I definitely lean to taking the 8.0 with the Mocs here for sure, but let’s take a little bit of a closer look here to see what side needs it.
Illinois has been so good as of late though and ended up number one in the Big 10 heading into selection Sunday.
I definitely lean to taking the 8.0 with the Mocs here for sure, but let’s take a little bit of a closer look here to see what side needs it.
Chattanooga Mocs
The Mocs are 8-2 in their last ten games. Getting super hot at the right time here.
They average around 75 points per game of total offence and are very good at the free throw line at 75.23%.
They also shoot the three ball decently well at 34%.
Illinois Fighting Illini
Illinois is 6-4 in their last ten games but those games were all within the Big10 which is one of the hardest conferences in the country.
The Fighting Illini have a slight edge offensively, they hit the three ball pretty well at 36% and their total rebounding is slightly better as well.
In these two teams last meeting however the Mocs won 81-77. A little revenge game perhaps.

Free Chattanooga Mocs vs. Illinois Fighting Illini NCAA Tournament Prediction:
I am going to take the Mocs +8.0 in this one. I think thats too many for this matchup and that they can cover it with ease.
Especially considering how tight all these games are between evenly matched teams, I just cannot see Illinois blowing them out by ten or more.
