Michigan basketball returns to action tomorrow night at Crisler 7pm against nebraska BTN. This should be a game that hopefully we will get to rest most of starters in 2nd half to have them fresh for Sunday in Columbus. I expect Burke and the boys to take care of business and win to tie the school record for best start 16-0.
Michigan 90
Nebraska 54
This one ain't going to be
Prediction?
PAIN.

Nebraska is real bad, and
Nebraska is real bad, and this offense has continued to get better all season long. Michigan continues it's streak of 90+ games in B1G play by winning 96-64.

Nebraska tries to slow the game way down
I don't think Michigan will get to 90 for a third straight game but something like 78-47 sounds good.

Go Blue!
47-41
Yup. Badger Nation is a tad nervous after surviving the Lincoln, NE house of pain to the tune of 47-41. I started to watch that game on BTN, but immediately realized NFL playoff football provided more entertainment value.
Wisconsin bball -- Feel the excitement!
Staring at a blank wall provided more entertainment value than that game.

I can see this team improving with each game
With that said, I think Nebraska will be the first team in history to cry for a mercy rule.

We will get up by a lot, early, and B will give significant non-garbage time minutes to Spike, Caris and Max. Hopefully, also get some test minutes for Horford. Then, it's milk and cookies and early bedtimes until Ohio.
I don't know
We will kill Nebraska. But I wonder if Beilein uses the game to practice some sets? (two posts?) Or if he rests his starters the second half. Or if he focuses on defense? If he shows new wrinkles, or keeps them hidden til needed (vs. Ohio, or Indiana, or MSU?)
I'll go with 90 - 50. No one is going to stop this offense, and I think they will work on tightening the screws even more on defense.

Rest for the starters is
Rest for the starters is key. Some minutes for Horford will also be a plus.
I'm still a little leary of how tired the team looked @ the B1G tourney and of course, the NCAAs last year.
Won't happen
Last year's team didn't have as much size, depth or overall talent as this one. I liked last year's team, but this one could be special. This team is not going to wear down. If anything, it could peak at the end of the season.
Think: Nebraska and Bo

Thanks Coach
Thanks Coach for making Michigan Basketball something to be proud about again. It's been way too long since there were Big 10 games that you knew UM was going to win even before the game started. Can't wait to watch the boys take Nebraska to the woodshed.
Michigan rolls.

Some Head-To-Head Data...
Some head-to-head averages, courtesy of TeamRankings. This seems like a game Michigan was almost designed to win easily, and perhaps by more than the 21.4 point average victory margin.
| Nebraska | Michigan | |
| Points/Game | 59.1 | 80.7 |
| Avg Score Margin | -1.4 | 21.4 |
| Assists/Game | 10.3 | 16.8 |
| Total Rebounds/Gm | 33.9 | 38.4 |
| Effective FG % | 46.80% | 59.30% |
| Off Rebound % | 24.10% | 34.00% |
| FTA/FGA | 0.292 | 0.278 |
| Turnover % | 16.30% | 12.70% |
Given that data, I could see a 90-62-ish performance as about right.
