Next: Illinois (Big 10 Tournament)

Michigan plays Illinois today in second round of the Big 10 tournament.  Illinois advanced yesterday after an upset win over Wisconsin.  Michigan won the regular season meetings between the two teams 69-59 in Ann Arbor and 58-55 last Sunday in Champaign.

Michigan should be the favorite, but it can be tough to beat a team three times in one season.  Illinois is a young team with quite a bit of talent that has lost a number of tough games - the win against Wisconsin yesterday may give them some much needed confidence.

The winner of the game faces the winner of Purdue - Penn State tomorrow.
