This game will be interesting to the fact that both teams are playing at a high level, but also both teams have some commonly powered opponents and have had similar results. Now, one thing that will not help the Wildcats out is they are shooting worse and not rebounding as good as Michigan. Look for that to make the difference in the game here as the Wildcats are unable to corral the loose ball as much. Final Score, Michigan Wolverines win 81-71.
