Probably should just take my ball and go home after a 3-0 afternoon, but now I'm gonna have to play Michigan at home, where it pretty much beats everyone when fully healthy. I still was a bit apprehensive on this because Indiana (3-5 on road) is playing well, but sixth-year starting forward Race Thompson (7.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg) apparently won't play and that hurts IU for sure. The Hoosiers have lost the past eight regular-season meetings in the series.
Michigan has been playing better on both sides of the ball with a healthy Jett Howard. The Wolverines are holding opponents to less than 65 points per game over their last three and shooting 42 percent from beyond the arc. Despite their recent success, Indiana struggles guarding the perimeter, allowing opponents to shoot 36.2 percent and they themselves shoot 33.3 percent. Michigan protects the ball better at home averaging four less turnovers than Indiana. I'm on Michigan.
