Michigan wins outright +135. Michigan outplayed the Illini in their own building just simply missed shots down the stretch and could not get over the hump. The game was a MUST WIN for Illini and they looked terrible vs Michigan's squad even before Hardaway Jr emerged as a 20 pt per game threat. Michigan has no fear at this point and is probably in even with a loss. Can't imagine this being high scoring and not the most exciting game in the world, but the Morris, Hardaway combo is going to dominate this game. Michigan would need a terrible shooting performance from all of its 3 pt bombers to be in serious trouble today and I don't see that happening. Illinois does not close out on the perimeter well enough to prevent open looks from Novak, Stu, Vogrich, Smotrycz, Hardaway, etc..
