Wisconsin vs. Illinois Odds, Prediction

Vegas is predicting an exciting game today for the Big Ten trophy. Illinois is the favorite to beat Wisconsin, but the odds are close with a 2.5-point spread.

Wisconsin (22-12) had some trouble leading up to the Big Ten Tournament with a 3-8 streak, but they immediately turned on the jets in the conference tournament. Their biggest victory came on Saturday when the No. 5-seeded Badgers clawed their way to a 76-75 win against the No. 1-seeded Purdue Boilermakers.

No. 2-seeded Illinois (25-8) had a slightly better regular season than Wisconsin, and they’ve also (obviously) been a force in the Big Ten Tournament, winning most of their games by a significant margin. Most recently, took down No. 3-seeded Nebraska 98-87 to make the conference final.
