Michigan is an interesting dynamic, as all of their losses this season have been by double digits. So, when they lose, they lose big. However, after 21 straight games against Big Ten opponents, the Wolverines will welcome a new face. Michigan was 7-4 against the spread in non-conference play and this game means a little more for the Wolverines as the play-in likely won’t help coach John Beilein. Michigan needs the win to really get into the tournament and feel like it has something to build off of for next season. Tulsa doesn’t have the same pressure as a program. Michigan should come out motivated and shoot the ball well and find a way to move on to Friday.
