Michigan returns back to Crisler tomm night against in state Western Michigan coming to town. It will be at 830 on BTN. I think Michigan continues its superior play and gets a win to make it 8-0.
Michigan 76
Western Mich 56
I hope Western keeps it close, because I think this teams needs practice closing out games more than anything else right now.
Go Blue. Greetings from SEC country.
You aren't wrong about this team needing to close out close games. But, when playing a team that is clearly inferior, this team needs to be able to get a lead and keep the pressure on until Beilein clears the bench. I would like to see a 10-14 point halftime lead and end with 16-20+ win. I would love to see a 70-52 type game, but I guess it's a bit closer after allowing a late run. 76-68 Michigan with Stauskas hitting lots of free throws in the last couple minutes.
It's just hoops, but I like where your head is at.
Michigan will score more points than Western Michigan.
I hate ohio. Thats all you need to know.
Bold move stepping out with a prediction against Western Michigan.
that Michigan wins in convincing fashion - 79 to 61

I bet you a dollar that this isn't the score.
Michigan wins 83-61. Robinson III goes for 20+.
Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing.
Michigan rolls 84 to 59. 4 more threes for Stauskas.

It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
I don't know how you people can look ahead, we should be focused on South Carolina!!!

We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.

I think Michigan is going to win by 10 vs. Western. I'm more worried about Arkansas.
If Michigan only beats western by ten I'll be worried.
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

Michigan will be ready for that Razorback pressure defense, unlike last season when they were clearly overmatched for much of the first half.
Secondly, this Michigan team is way more athletic and better equipped to handle said pressure.
Lastly, and most importantly, Arkansas is a very different animal away from Bud Walton Arena. Oh, and they won't hit 80% of their shots in the first 10 minutes.

before Michigan fights back and takes a commanding lead. Then the game is called early due to lightning. NCAA will still count the stats though, don't worry.
The last two times Michigan played western (11/23/2001 & 11/30/2002) they lost. Payback time.

This is a good MAC team, but Michigan is on the verge of being a great team. Michigan 77- Western-63.

I think Michigan literally wins by a mile.

Far and away, just looking at Western's summary numbers, we are the more productive, opportunistic team, right down to being 4th in FG percentage and 25th in points per game. Western, on the other hand, is 159th and 178th in those respective categories. I have to guess that we handle them fairly easily. I'll go with a 82-62-ish Michigan win.

Josh Bartelstein also takes the court, in full suit, and manages to not score, only making his mark in the stats book with an assist.
Michigan wins it with a buzzer beater from Stauskas as Duke's players all don WMU uniforms and attempt to hijack the game.
Michigan's offensive style requires more players that have greater interactions with the Higgs field.
