Scouting Michigan
Michigan comes into Saturday’s game with a 14-5 record and is fifth in the Big Ten with a 4-2 conference mark after a 74-69 win over Minnesota on Wednesday.

The Wolverines went 2-2 in their first four games, but have played much better of late, going 8-2 in their last 10 contests with the only losses coming to nationally ranked Purdue and Iowa. UM has been without Caris LeVert (17.6 ppg; 5.4 rpg; 5.2 apg) since the start of January, although he is potentially close to returning to action.

In his absence, the Wolverines have been a balanced club with five players averaging at least 9.5 points per game, including four in double figures. Michigan is an efficient offensive team that is shooting 45 percent from the field in Big Ten play, including over 40 percent from 3-point range. Junior Zak Irvin leads UM with 13.8 ppg in Big Ten play while shooting 46 percent from 3-point range. Derrick Walton Jr. adds 12.8 ppg and 6.7 rpg, while Mark Donnal is averaging 11.7 ppg and 7.0 rpg in conference action.

Definitely a tough match up with all of their 3 point options, but IF we defend the 3 as well as we are capable (not like the outing vs Sparty), I like our shot in this game.

A confident, maturing team with a jacked up crowd all work in our favor.

But we cannot afford one of our patented 5-7 minute scoring droughts.
