Taking BOSTON here. Would be easy to grab the Illini here. They are playing the best ball of the year. They are off a 1pt loss to Michigan, after losing to the Wolverines by 31 10 before. I think they want to continue to build with wins here for next season. BU off a loss that cost them a trip to the NCAAs losing to American. Again. I had Boston there. American has had their number. Now, they get to actually host a game in the NIT as a 7 seed since the Illini arena is getting a make-over. How crazy is this place going to be to face a Big 10 team. Where is the Illini motivation here? They won a game in the NCAAs last year. Now they are in Boston to face a team from the Patriot League? At home, with a marquee opponent, I think we see the best of the Terriers. I don't expect them to come out and miss 15 of their first 18 shots and score 36 points. 1-17 from 3? These guys are excited and looking to get that bad loss out of their system. 4* Money-Maker BOSTON U
