As if there weren't enough cool things to play for, this is a wild stat, folks - if the boys win tomorrow, they will officially surpass the 1989 Flyin' Illini as having the most wins vs. AP top 10 teams in one season in school history BEFORE the NCAA Tournament even starts! If anyone wants a trip down memory lane, here are each teams' big wins:
2021
W 83-68 at #10 Duke (Big Ten/ACC Challenge)
W 80-75 vs. #7 Iowa
W 76-53 at #2 Michigan
W 73-68 at #7 Ohio State
W 82-71 vs. (3) #5 Iowa (BTT Semifinals - Indianapolis, IN)
1989
W 87-84 vs. #10 Missouri (Braggin' Rights Game - St. Louis, MO)
W 96-84 vs. #6 Michigan
W 70-67 at #3 Indiana (Nick Anderson's shot)
W 89-73 at #8 Michigan
W 89-86 vs. (2) #7 Syracuse (NCAAT Elite Eight - Minneapolis, MN)
I hope we all realize how special this team actually has been!

Hammer them.
Let's go get some hardware.
I’m expecting an announcement that Michigan gets it irrespective of the winner of this game.

Or else Juwan Howard is going after Kevin Warren.
Michigan lost.
It's not important to play the full slate of games, as Michigan would have won the extra game anyway.
Well, he did charge at him

OSU will be playing its 4th game in 4 days, including OT vs. Purdue, so both teams will have to dig deep.
I mean Michigan doesn't need to play games to win titles, that's pretty unfair. Besides they have injuries so basically none of their losses count.

This game will NOT be easy. But likely Kyle young still out with concussion protocol one would think. Gives us a better edge inside. Repeat today’s performance and I feel good. Rest up tonight, boys. Cut down the nets tomorrow
Mr. Garza probably has a couple.
Without their insurrectionist
Curbelo
Curbelo. Feliz was awesome, but Curbelo is a freshman and has that superstar factor.
Line predictions for game tomorrow?

We were like 4 point favorites against #5 Iowa today, right? Honestly, I’d expect the same or even more...
Line is Illinois -5.5
