T.M. Selection: Illinois.

The Badgers finished 22-12. They've had to win three games to reach the Championship game. That included a win over No. 1 seed Purdue, to reach the Championship game for the first time since 2016. The Badgers are exhausted and contents, while the Illinois will be all business after dispatching Nebraska. We already have a "blue print" as well of how this game will play out, as Illinois beat Wisconsin 91-82 on March 2nd. I believe this game will be lower-scoring overall, but the discrepany of winning margin will be even greater for the Illini. This is just a bad matchup for the Badgers; lay the price and take Illinois on the money line!

T.M. Prediction: 80-70 Illinois.
