Michigan at Illinois 7:00 ET
Illini (+) over Wolverines- Not that Charles Dickens had any thought of college basketball but this match-up between Michigan and Illinois is truly a 'Tale of Two Cities.' The 16th ranked Wolverines are 15-1 at home and only 3-6 on the road Illinois is 13-3 at home and only 2-8 on the road. Michigan might be the better team on paper but 'where' this game is played is the key to victory. The home team is 19-4 in the last 23 meetings and the Illini have won 13 in-a-row against the Wolverines at Assembly Hall. For me it's a 'no brainer,' It's ILLINOIS!
