Illinois is heavily favored against Rutgers tonight, but the real story is whether the Scarlet Knights’ gritty defense can keep things closer than the experts think. Despite some offensive struggles, Rutgers has pulled off three wins in their last four games and could surprise with their rebounding and free-throw edge. Illinois, meanwhile, is coming off a rough shooting night and hasn’t always covered big spreads at home. With both teams playing at a slower pace, the under on total points looks appealing. Who do you think comes out on top—and can Rutgers keep it respectable? #Sports #CollegeBasketball #Illinois
