Prediction: This
game should be interesting as Michigan certainly wants to hand a loss to
Indiana, who has owned this series the past two seasons, while the Hoosiers
need a strong run over the next week to make the NCAA Tournament, starting with
a win today. I don’t think Indiana will get that win today, but I do expect
this game to be somewhat of a dog fight. I was really impressed with Michigan’s
performance at Illinois, but I don’t know that they can repeat that today. The
Hoosiers will try to grind this one out and win with defense, because they can’t
go in looking to match Michigan shot-for-shot. Ultimately, talent should win
out. The Wolverines have more talent and still have a slim chance at making a
run at a No. 1 seed should it win out and a few teams fall along the way. Michigan 68, Indiana 61
