Predictions for Mich/Wisky bball

Michigan 65

Wisconsin 66

I won't be able to watch--busy all day!

M68-W63 

Pain.

Wisconsins tough at home but the vastly more skilled team runs away with this one.

UM 65, W 52

63-57 Michigan

So we should win by 22, right?

More missed shots than made shots. 

I'm still not sure on this one.  I want to say Michigan (durr) but my realistic mind mostly wants to lean toward Wisconsin at the Kohl Center.  Which leads me to believe....

Michigan 71 - Wisconsin 63

First time a team puts up more than 70 on the Badgers since Creighton whooped them in "week 2".

A lot of dribbling.

62-51 Blue. Down 4 at the half but they'll go on their regular 5 minute lights out stretch to pull away.

Ugly, ugly, ugly.

Some numbers first:

Interestingly, Massey gives Wisconsin about a 32% shot at winning this game based on the numbers, but of course, they  did beat Indiana in their own house and are in two-way tie with Ohio State for having the second-best record in the conference at 7-3 (Michigan, Indiana and MSU sit at 8-2). Wisconsin seems to live on defense and finding ways to basically be infuriating (ask the Hoosiers about playing a half-court game for long stretches against them), but if Michigan can keep a good offensive rhythm and successfully challenge the Badgers on  the outside, I would wager a 70-62-ish performance in  favor of Michigan. 

Michigan

61-49 Michigan

Michigan 57-54

Michigan wins by a bunch. people celebrate.

Sorry, but I just don't see them checking us. Berggeren, Brusewiczs, Kaminsky, Dekker, (sp? on all of those...) etc... I don't think they match up athletically whatsoever with Hardaway, GRIII,  McGary, Stauskas, Horford. We've seen more athletic teams get bogged down there, but not athletic teams that shoot like we do. I see this game going a lot like the game a couple years ago where we just absolutely annihilated them at home.

Michigan: 72

Wisconsin: 54

I see two things for SURE happening (cause they always happen)

1. Wisconsin - shooting 34% from the 3 point line somehow manages to shoot over 50% today.

2. Wisconsin - shooting a B1G low 61% from the free throw line somehow manages to shoot over 80% today.

But neither matter in the end - Michigan 62-54

Sorry for thread jacking a little bit. I don't have enough points to create my own thread, and this is somewhat on topic for this thread I guess.

I just picked up tickets for free to the Wings game at 2:00. I'm from Windsor, so I want to head over early, watch the Michigan game at a bar, then head to the Joe for the Wings game. Any suggestions on where I should go to watch the game? Any place within walking distance of the Joe would be great. Doesn't even have to be a great bar, I probably won't drink anyways. Just need somewhere to go to watch.

I could see us winning by 20 or having a game where it ends up +/5 points (i.e. we win or lose by a small margin). If the offense gets in a rhythm, I could see us blowing the doors off but if it gets into a dribble-fest, I'm a bit more nervous

statement... 74-58 Go Blue

78-50. Trey goes for 28 points. Tim stays hot from three. And GRIII dunks on that ginger on Wisconsin.

Michigan, 27, Wisconsin, 10.

Wisconsin is coming off a double OT game that was played the day after our last game. I think that is a factor.



Michigan handles their business in this one.



63-54 Michigan victory!

Ugly it up, but we still win



54-47

McGary will lead us to revenge against backboards!

Michigan 55 - Wisconsin 50

I am not looking forward to this slow paced boring game. Looking forward to the win and Michigan being #1 again on Monday.
