Analysis
Purdue has beaten Northwestern, Nebraska and UCLA to advance, while Michigan has taken out Ohio State and Wisconsin as a huge favorite. The Wolverines have yet to cover a spread, though, in the conference tournament, as they were unable to cover the 13.5-points with the Buckeyes, nor the 12.5-points with the Badgers. But this spread here vs. the Boilermakers is much more manageable. The Wolverines easily handled the Boilermakers by a score of 91-80 as 2.5-point dogs in Purdue in mid-February, and I'm expecting an even more lop-sided blowout here at the United Center in Chicago; lay the points with confidence and expect a decisive victory for Michigan ***BIG TEN CONFERENCE TOURNEY CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER
