The Illini got their mojo back against Iowa (81-61 win), and with a chip on their shoulders, I expect them to put up a great fight against Michigan, which has won two games by five combined points since losing to Michigan State. Illinois' last three losses were all vs. top-15 teams, and they rank 22nd nationally in KenPom's rating, two spots ahead of the Wolverines. Neither team enters this game with much momentum, and the Illini should have no problem playing the role of spoiler.
