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.

 
Posted a thread on the Classifieds page but looking for 2-4 tickets for the game today still. PM me as to not derail the thread. Thanks.

 
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.

dang- season ticket holder since 1985== have to give them up today to go watch cheering competition... love the way today's game sets up for the rising guys in Red... cheer like hell today and let's walk off with the win

 
Any updates on the team's health? Heard a bug was going through the locker room and Watson was a little under the weather.

 
if they can get into halftime down 5 or less they're in a good spot. played a horrible first half and no bounce has gone their way as evidenced by that loose ball resulting in a michigan 3
