Tulsa was probably the most questionable team to get in the tournament - more so than even Syracuse probably. Everyone was up in arms when their name got called on Selection Sunday.
Michigan would seem to be carrying some serious momentum after winning in overtime on Thursday, and then knocking off Indiana on Friday to seal their spot.
There were times this year when Tulsa looked legit. They've got some quality wins on their resume. They run a 3 guard offense and can penetrate off the dribble and get to the basket and collapse the defense.
At first glance I thought Michigan easy but that's what everyone thinks here. Could Tulsa use all the talk as extra motivation to play with a bit of a chip on their shoulder? Let's not forget, Michigan has been short-handed all year and has had plenty of games where they looked seriously overmatched. They are a team who has to play really well just to win. They aren't good enough to get by with their C game so to speak.
Tulsa +160 could have some good value here.
