The No. 3 Michigan Wolverines are scheduled to square off with the No. 18 Purdue Boilermakers in the 2026 Big Ten Tournament championship game with an opportunity to be crowned champions for a second straight season at the United Center on Sunday!
Dusty May's team is in the midst of the best season in school history and they could continue to rewrite the history books with a win over Purdue, by becoming the first Michigan team to win the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles in the same season.
The Wolverines are 6.5-point favorites over Purdue with the over/under set at 151.5 points per FanDuel. Michigan defeated Purdue 91-80 in the only matchup of the season as six players scored in double-figures to fuel the Wolverines to a win at Mackey Arena.
Michigan is searching for the fifth Big Ten Tournament title in school history and fourth in the past 10 years, and Purdue is aiming for the third in program history. It will be the third time that Michigan and Purdue meet with the Big Ten Tournament title up for grabs.
