Point Spread: Michigan

Prediction: Similar
to the win over Penn State, I would expect Michigan to play a highly-motivated
game against Wisconsin on Friday. The Badgers gave the Wolverines one of their
toughest losses of the season in Madison. Michigan clearly has more talent than
the Badgers. The only way for Wisconsin to win is to out-work the Wolverines
and dominate the glass, which is possible. However, I think Michigan will build
off its strong second half against Penn State and match Wisconsin’s defensive intensity.
It won’t take a ton of points to beat the Badgers, so Michigan just needs to be
aggressive and create open looks on the perimeter through dribble penetration.
In the end, I see Michigan winning by double digits. Michigan 66, Wisconsin 55
