Result: Win

Michigan +2

Illinois is a joke opening up here as a -1 favorite. Set up line maybe, but I am not buying it and just do not see it. Bruce Weber has a mess on his hands and with Michigan is playing for one of the top seeds in the conference tourney. With Michigan State going down on Monday Michigan is 1 game back here. Illinois has a good home record and have beaten a few good teams in here, but Michigan off a loss and totally focused to get it done tonight. Illinois has fallen from grace as a Big 10 power, and is 4-9 against teams with an RPI rating of 50 or under. Yes Michigan has lost 7 road games, but those were to powerhouse teams including Virginia and Ohio State and Arkansas to name a few, Illinois not that caliber of team with a lot on the line for Michigan. Illinois has no true shooters and Michigan better, big time on the boards.
