- Root Reserve on Michigan
Michigan comes into this matchup after barely getting by Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon and they have been less than impressive during this tournament. The Wolverines are shooting 51% from the field and they have allowed 70 points or fewer in four of their last five. Purdue has won three games in a row and they have allowed 68 points or fewer in four of their last five. The Boilermakers have been very up and down this season and they lost to Michigan at home by 11 points. I know the Wolverines have struggled, but I like them to wake up and play to their ability here. The Wolverines have scored 87.9 points per game with 40.2 rebounds and 18.8 assists per game, while they have allowed 69.0 points against per game this season. Yaxel Lendeborg is averaging 14.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, while Morez Johnson Jr is averaging 13.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game for the Wolverines. Michigan is shooting 50.9% from the field, 74.5% on free throws, and 36.4% on three pointers this season. Take Michigan to cover.
