Both teams will be motivated but I think 9.5 is too many points here. Gophers desperately need this game for their NCAA bid. Michigan has to be emotionally exhausted after back to back 2nd half comebacks against rival MSU and Purdue (OT game that they were down by 19 at one point).
I was expecting this line to around -6 and I'm usually dead-on with predicting Michigan basketball lines.
