Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Matt's Analysis:
Tempted to take Michigan on the ML to win outright as the Wolverines are very much on the bubble and really need this -- wrong side of bubble via ESPN but Last Four In via CBS Sports. Jett Howard reportedly will return tonight for U-M (although one could argue the Wolverines are better without Juwan's son), while Illinois is without Jayden Epps due to a concussion. The freshman has played in every game and averages 10.1 ppg. The Illini are very deep but still a loss.
