Prediction: Illinois
has really built off its win over Indiana, as the Illini have a nice five-game
winning streak right now. The Wolverines handed Illinois a bad loss on the
road, but both teams seem to be in a different place right now. Illinois is
playing as well as it has all conference season, while Michigan is still
recovering from a string of road losses. I do think Michigan wins this contest,
but Illinois is going to be a much tougher out this time around. The Wolverines
need to start sparking on defense to build some confidence for a late run at
the Big Ten title. It can start on Sunday, but I don’t think it will. Michigan 69, Illinois 66.
