Michigan vs Illinois: Game Preview and Predictions

The Wolverines prepare to take on the Fighting Illini in a crucial Big Ten matchup this Sunday.

The second game of a Sunday doubleheader on CBS features No. 15 Michigan in a huge spot as it welcomes Illinois to Ann Arbor, Michigan, looking to keep its Big Ten title hopes alive. The Wolverines (22-6, 14-3 Big Ten) sit tied atop the league standings with Michigan State with three regular-season games remaining – one of those being a road tilt at Michigan State – setting Sunday’s showdown up to be something close to a must-win for UM.

Illinois has struggled in February with three losses in its last four games, but except for a few instances, they have largely risen to the occasion in crucial moments this season. With standout performance from Kasparas Jakucionis, who ranks as the second-leading assists producer among all freshmen, paired with a dynamic offense, they are in the perfect position to potentially spoil Michigan’s postseason plans.
