Prediction: Michigan
has new life with Ohio State beating Indiana in Bloomington on Tuesday night.
The Wolverines should come into this game with focus and motivation. If the
ability to win the Big Ten title wasn’t motivation enough, last week’s loss at
Penn State should be. Michigan had a strong second half against Michigan State
last Sunday, and that can be something it can build on. Purdue is coming off
its biggest win of the season, winning at Wisconsin, 69-56. The Boilermakers
can be a dangerous team if they shoot the ball well, but they haven’t shown
much consistency in a 40-minute game throughout the season. I don’t feel good
about saying Michigan should win easy, because it clearly hasn’t been at its best
for a while, but I do think the Wolverines come out strong and win comfortably at
Purdue. Michigan 66, Purdue 56
