Michigan @ Wisconsin - 1PM EST Open Thread

Submitted by 1989 UM GRAD on February 20th, 2022 at 12:39 PM

The fancy stats and Kenpom are telling us that Wisconsin might not be as good as their record indicates.

It feels like we can get out of the Trohl Center with the victory if Dickinson stays out of foul trouble and we can hit 35-40% of our threes.  

Houstan's home/away split on 3's is pretty dramatic.  Need to start evening that out!  (By improving on the road, not deteriorating at home.)

Go Blue!

If we get this win the team will be solidly in. Already starting to see a consensus in the Bracket Matrix that this is a Tourney team. Think we would be in a really good spot if we could get the next two games. Would still need one more at that point but would give us some breathing room. I think the regular schedule right now is doing wonders for them. Even though most of the games in the last week of the regular season is at home it’s still 4 games in like 7 or 8 days which will be tough.

I'll say it now. If Michigan wins today's game, they will make the NCAA tournament. 

Wins vs the top teams Purdue & Wisconsin in hand, they will win 3-4 of the final games vs the league leaders Rutgers, Illinois, msu, & osu.

Yeah, I know, pretty obvious, but they won't have to worry about the Big 10 Tourney.
