But deadly wrong on the second one:

FINAL:
	Illinois 83, Michigan 79 (OT)

Michigan  may be a good team, but they sometimes play poorly.  They lost TWO
previous games by a total of 22 points, whereas Illinois lost SEVEN previous
games  by a total of 21 points.  In tournament play, a consistent (and good)
team maybe outplayed by an average team  with  exceptional  performance  (we
have  all  seen  that  at  last year's ncaa final), but an inconsistent team
certainly has more chance of being eliminated at  any  time.    Illinois  is
struggling  for  the  ncaa berth now, but if they get in, I'll bet that they
will go farther than Michigan does.  They have some real  talented  players,
but  unfortunately  the  incompetence  of  their  head coach keeps them from
winning those close games.
