Michigan has been a disappointment so far this season and that can be attributed to the play from the point guard position. They come into this Big 10 contest needing a win as they have dropped their last two games and three of their last five. They have had some time off due to COVID. They will be facing an Illinois team that has won five straight and four of those covered the number. Michigan turns the ball over too much for a team that hasn't been great at shooting the ball either. Consider they are coming off a COVID layoff and going on the road makes things even more difficult. The Fighting Illini have outscored their opponents by 15.5 points a game this season.

Play on Illinois. This is a 7* play.
