Mich/Penn St predictions

Michigan basketball is back in action tonight at Penn St 630 pm BTN.  Back to a road game in which we have drop three straight road games.  This is a game where we need to take control and leave State College with a win.   Lets use Illinois second half and roll with it.  Morgan should be getting better is the key down the stretch.  I look for Burke to have  a great effort and THJ will come out of his shell.   Is this road game where GR3 will shine?   We start the four game stretch to claim the BIg Ten title.

Michigan will win by 13 points, then later the Red Wings will beat LA by 2 goals.

Penn State has been making lots of teams look bad lately.  I'm not exactly sure how they are doing it, but I could see this one being pretty unenjoyable to watch.

I think we'll get a pretty good feel for the maturity level of the team tonight.  This is a game they  should win and win fairly comfortably IF they play with intensity from the beginning of the game and not just when they're down 8 points early.   PSU, as bad as they clearly are, plays hard and has come "oh so close" in several games recently.  And trust me, there is nothing they'd like more than to get B1G win #1 at home against us.  And if I was their Head Coach I'd remind the team just how close they came 10 days ago to accomplishing that task at Crisler.

A focused, mature team (even with lots of Freshman) will come out and put their foot to the throat of PSU early and often just like we did at Northwestern, Illinios and Minnesota.  While the big games are still coming up - tonight will tell us a lot about the mental make-up of our team.

We need one of our huge-margin road wins (think Northwestern) to really get out mojo.  Would be nice to see a 90+ point effort against the Big Ten's worst team.

Here's the quick summary using stats from conference play:

 




Offense Michigan Penn State
Points/Game 72.1 57.5
Avg Score Margin 8.3 -11.6
Assists/Game 13.4 9.5
Total Rebounds/Gm 33.8 33.7
Effective FG % 54.32% 41.32%
Off Rebound % 30.80% 29.70%
Defense Michigan Penn State
Opp Points/Game 63.9 69.1
Opp Effective FG % 49.36% 49.27%
Off Rebounds/Gm 9.9 10.9
Def Rebounds/Gm 23.9 22.9
Blocks/Game 2.7 3.3
Steals/Game 6.2 4.6

So, I would anticipate something in the 70-60-ish range. Massey is going with a 94% win probability and a 74-58 score based on its algorithm, which is definitely a feasible range too if Morgan continutes to see more minutes and we get some contributions on defense a la the second half of Sunday's game - a few more offensive rebounds like those that Morgan provided in his 17 minutes and that margin gets bigger, I would think.

I'll take a win, but giving up 73 to these guys would be unsettling.  It took a really bad defensive effort for them to reach 71 in Crisler.  

I think we'll really step it up on that end, especially with Morgan getting healthy.
