Expect the Wisconsin Badgers to cover the +2.5 points spread against the Illinois Fighting Illini. Here's why:

Wisconsin has already proven they can compete with Illinois, having played them closely in their previous encounter. Despite the loss, Wisconsin showed resilience and the ability to match up well against Illinois.

With momentum on their side after three consecutive victories, including a dominant performance against Maryland in the semifinals, the Badgers are playing with confidence and determination.

Additionally, Wisconsin boasts a balanced offensive attack led by A. Storr, which can pose challenges for Illinois' defense. If they can continue to execute their game plan effectively, Wisconsin has a strong chance of keeping this game close and potentially pulling off the upset.

Considering Wisconsin's recent form and their ability to compete with top teams, expect them to put up a strong fight in the Big Ten Tournament Final and cover the +2.5 points spread.
