Minnesota at Illinois

Minnesota finally has shown some life winning two in a row, including a 68-63 over Maryland as a 10-point underdog and then beating Rutgers 83-61 on Tuesday. Jordan Murphy scored 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for the Golden Gophers, who held Rutgers to 40.7 percent from the field. The Gophers look to avenge a 76-71 overtime loss to Illinois on Jan. 23rd when Joey King scored 20 points, but his team came up just short. The Fighting Illini has lost two straight and four of its last five games after getting blown out 74-47 against Indiana on Thursday. Minnesota is 5-2 ATS its last seven games, and Illinois is 1-5 ATS its last six home games. Play Minnesota, plus the points.
