- Analysis
- At 12:00pm ET, my Early Riser is on Illinois vs Michigan State Under. This is an extremely high total for a game between the Illini and the Spartans. As a matter of fact, if you look at the past 30 meetings between these teams, all 30 of them had o/u lines which were lower than this one. None of them were higher than 150. The reason for the high total is that both teams can really score. The defenses are also quite good though. The Spartans allow 67 points per game, just 65 per game at home. The Illini allow an average of 67.3 points per game. The Illini entered the weekend ranked 10th nationally by KenPom in terms of defensive efficiency (92.5 points per 100 possessions) and the Spartans are 14th, at 94.3. The good defenses will make things difficult enough on the offenses to keep the score below the total. Play on the under.
