    Michigan--HELP!
    Michigan has been playing MUCH IMPROVED in this end of the season. Will they cover 13.5? Share your thoughts/observations. Thanks. I keep thinking they will cover. Can somebody talk me out of this please.

      I have this game capped between 12-15 for Wisky. I played the Wolverines in a 5 point teaser. Dont trust them to quite cover 14,but I feel mighty comfortable with 18.5

        Michigan the only way to play the early morning start IMO. Lot of ways to win a +13.5 dog.

          Wisconsin is a MUCH MUCH better team than Michigan in every aspect. This might be one of those games where Michigan keeps it close for a half then just goes on of those 8-9 minute scoring droughts.

          However, Michigan has been playing better/more competitively the past month or so but keep in mind that Michigan played last night against Iowa and may be a bit exhausted.

          I am not going to play it since the line to me seems about right....but a Michigan 4 pt or loss or a Wisconsin 25 point win wouldn't suprise me at all.

            Wisky is the best team in the Big Ten, hands down. Mich isnt even top 5. Not saying this is a definite, but ill put my money on mr bo ryan anytime.

                This is really debatable. Yes, they are the Big Ten champs but they did lose to Purdue twice and did play the weakest Big Ten schedule. I think there is a pretty good argument to be made that they aren't the best team in the Big Ten.....

                  Purdue did beat them twice, granted. But mich st is def not in the same league and i dont think purdue is better just because of the W's. I would say indiana is in the same league, but they dont look the same after loosing sampsonite.

                    Lot of people are drinking the Wisconsin kool-aid these days....keep in mind they put up 51 pts against one of the worst defensive teams in the country. That kind of performence will get you knocked out in the 1st rd.....

                      I agree BB, thing is i think almost every big ten team could be gone by the first weekend.

                        Good point BOT.

                        Conversely, a few Big Ten teams could make it into the third weekend of the tournament. Wisconsin's style of play really frustrates opponents and forces them into bad shots and turnovers. However, they are going to have to shoot much better. Michigan is an abysmal team (as are several Big Ten teams: Iowa, NW, PSU, Illinois, etc...). I think UW can reach the Sweet 16.

                        I do like MSU tomorrow though by the way +3 against UW....
