What worries me about Michigan is that's likely another game we either lose or barely win the rebounding margin. That gives us very little margin for error. We'll have to hit shots, which we normally do, but a bad shooting night could result in a loss.

Yeah, it's going to be hard. We know this, but our guys were faced with a monumentally hard task yesterday playing 5 on 8 against a top 10 team in a hostile environment, and we almost pulled it out with one of our best players sidelined. It took me a bit to come around, but I'm a believer in this team.

Agree we won’t have our normal rebounding advantage but they will also have to guard our bigs on the perimeter which should open more opportunities at the rim than they usually give up. Hopefully Boswell is back and revved up by then as he is one of our better drivers.

Only thing I’d say to that… when Michigan goes against good shooting frontcourts, are they actually that good of a rebounding team?

I hate Michigan but betting on them today was free money

They're stacked. If we had trouble with MSU on the glass, this is going to really be a challenge. We'll need to be shooting at an extremely high clip to beat them.

Morez is an absolute beast and they've found guards who aren't total clowns.

Yeah Ohio St is the most mid team in the Big 10. They win the games they are supposed to and lose the games they are supposed to. There's no element of surprise with them

Minnesota loses to Maryland at home after upsetting MSU. I guess that's why they play the games.
