Michigan basketball got double revenge on Purdue after losing to the Boilermakers in West Lafayette earlier in the season. The Wolverines not only took them down in Ann Arbor, but ousted them in the Big Ten Tournament on Friday night. Now, the maize and blue have an opportunity to take down yet another team they lost to just 10 days ago.

Tre Donaldson’s end-to-end layup with 0.4 seconds remaining denied the Terps a chance to play in their first Big Ten Tournament final.

John Tonje scored 32 points and grabbed seven rebounds to help No. 18 Wisconsin beat No. 7 Michigan State 77-74 in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament.

Wisconsin upset top-seeded Michigan State Saturday, 77-74. The Badgers snapped Sparty’s eight-game winning streak in advancing to Sunday’s final. John Tonje scored 32 and pulled down seven rebounds to lead the Badgers to victory.

These are two of the hottest teams in the Big Ten, and both could use a win to increase their momentum and improve their seeding before the NCAA Tournament. It’s time to continue our College Basketball odds series with an Illinois-Maryland prediction and pick.
