FLORIDA/E.ILLINOIS UNDER 148.5
Before I even start this total is really insane! The worst part is in 15 minutes time it went from 146.5 to 148.5 which is even more incredible. I'm throwing 3 units aka oreo cookies

on this one. I'm not a huge better but I REALLY REALLY like this matchup. Matchup for tonights game faces up Florida vs E. Illinois at 7:30 at the O'Connell Center. Florida is coming off of a BIG win against La Tech 76-55 on Tuesday. The big news of the game was freshman Matt Walsh scored 26 points. If Florida wins the game they will earn a trip to MSG in what hopefully could be a great matchup with #2 Kansas. The player to watch will be Henry Domercant. Domercant scored 36 of the Panthers 73 points in the win at Boise State Monday night,he was 13-26 from the field, 5-8 from ?3? and 5-6 free throws with five rebounds?J.R. Reynolds free throws with five rebounds. Domercant, despite being second in the nation in scoring last season and earning All-American honors, is not so well-known outside the Ohio Valley Conference. It's hard to gain an abundance of national recognition when one plays at a mid-major, no matter how many points he scores. I cant imagine Domercant putting up the same #'s against Justin Hamilton Florida's senior point guard, who is one of the nations top backcourt defenders. "I don't know if Justin can guard him for the whole entire game," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "Justin's our best perimeter defender and he'll start on him, but we can't expect Justin to cover him all by himself. Anthony Roberson is going to have to play him a little bit. Rashid Al-Kaleem may have to guard him a little bit. We may even have to go with a bigger guy and put (Adrian) Moss on him a little bit. I don't think we can have one guy stay on him the entire game." Hamilton has gotten more than used to being matched up with an opponent's top scorer. When Florida's plays Georgia, he'll be on Jarvis Hayes. Against Maryland, he'll be on Steve Blake. If a team has an All-American type who is under 6-foot-10, it's probably a safe bet, Hamilton will have his hand in his face come gametime. "I've conditioned myself to work like that, so I'm prepared for it," Hamilton said. "I look at it as a challenge." Eastern Illinois may not be a one-man team. J.R. Reynolds had 16 points in the opener, but Hamilton said it's not a bad thing to know where the bulk of the scoring is going to come. "If he's the only guy we have to worry about," Hamilton said. "That's definitely going to benefit us." Look for more of the same of what was done Tuesday night against La Tech. Full court press and long possesions. Florida is hurting with only 8 players in action for the NIT. The way I look at it is if Demorcant even has a big game the total posted is about 15 points too high. Florida will not want to run with this team with fatigue being a factor. If anyone seriously thinks I'm totally off with my thinking please let me know....
Florida 73 E. Illinios 52
