Don’t think this will go well.
There’s absolutely nothing about this game that makes me think it will go well.
Michigan has been playing well, we get no practice time on their floor, will be on the road for 4-5 days straight, students back, and players are still fighting illnesses.

Is Michigan as good as Minny? No.
Is Michigan as good as Minny? No.
Will we jump out to as dismal start as we did with Minny? No.
Did we have a chance to win there? Yes. Got to within 4 anyway. I'm still thinking we win this by 7.
Michigan is ranked higher in Kenpom and barttorvik than Minnesota.
They have beat Texas and UCLA, both better teams than Minnesota's best win - which is us.
Michigan has absolutely been outplaying MN this year.
Neither is ranked in top 25 or even honorable mention. So, they're probably pretty even. Minny has all their players back, and that's why I think they're better. jmo
Neither is Longwood. They must be pretty even with Minny and Michigan as well...
I was speaking to both be comparable Big 10 teams. Longwood's a far cry from that setting.
Again, I believe we will steal at least two wins in the BIG that we have no business winning. This could be one. It is winnable. If we can beat Minn, in their house in one half, we can beat scUM in one half in their house. Now just come out and play one half even.
Hot take: We will not start this game 1-20
OK...Rutgers also isn't in the top 25 or an honorable mention. They must be pretty even with Minny and Michigan.
