A hard fought overtime win by the Fighting Illini appeared to be a -5.5 cover of the spread as well.  With just four seconds left and no way Ohio State was going to win, Illinois was up 6 points.

Then came that dagger three-pointer from the Buckeyes CJ Walker with just one second left.  That brought the final score to 91-88.  If you were backing the Buckeyes, you could thank your lucky stars....and CJ Walker.  For those who had Illinois at -5.5, we trust there were plenty cussing out Walker.

It only took one second for millions of dollars to shift.

Most books needed Ohio State to cover, so this shot worked out well for them.
