Shane Ryan (a Grantland CBB writer) predicts Michigan will beat IU by double digits

Title pretty much says it all. He has the game ranked as the #1 game of the weekend.  Link? Link:

http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/49538/the-hardcourt...

EDIT: In the name of accuracy, I should note that I discovered he is not a CBB writer per se, but he has a daily feature that discusses any manner of things sports related, fwiw. 

ALWAYS remember the golden rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules

I often read Shane Ryan's "Hardcourt Shuffle" piece, which I believe is bi-weekly. He has been claiming Indiana is overrated all season long, so this prediction is unsurprising to me. I won't complain if he's right though

I can literally see this game going from a double-digit Indiana win to a double-digit Michigan win.  I've never been quite this uncertain about a game.  I think that Indiana has to get the edge by a couple points, but the game should come down to the final minutes.  Here's to hoping we're on the good side of things.

I wouldn't say double digits but I've been wrong before...

YOu guys are absolutely stoned.  No chance in hell UM wins by double digits why?  There is no home cookin this side of Cameron Indoor like that at Assembly Hall.  Every marginal charge will favor IU, every marginal foul will favor IU.  Indiana will be allowed to play aggressive D with the refs in their pocket, while UM will be fearful of ticky tack fouls all night.

Michigan will be lucky to win this game, not because IU is better, but because they will be playing 5 vs 8.

It's all good, but the guy lost me when he talked about Burke carving up Yogi Ferrell, or Christian Watford, or Jordan Hulls. Not surprising he's been wrong about the Hoosiers all year if he thinks Watford is a guard.

Crean put Watford on Burke last year after Burke torched Hulls early. The writer was correct, and Crean IS actually that bad of a game coach. He essentially put his PF on a PG.

Well then... I will eat my crow and give my apologies to the author, but the prospect of Watford on Burke isn't very intimidating, and I doubt Crean does the same this year with M being a much bigger team.

"I'm not just expecting a Wolverines win; I'm expecting the Michigan perimeter to dominate. And I'm expecting Burke to carve up Yogi Ferrell or Christian Watford, or, God forbid, Jordan Hulls. And I'm expecting Beilein, an excellent game coach, to take Tom Crean to school. " - from the article

I would say that, if Michigan gets into a rhythm and can dictate the pace to some degree, then nothing is impossible certainly.That's what the teams fortunate enough to have beaten the Hoosier have been able to do successfully for long stretches as it takes them away from  the boards and keeps them off the free throw line.

The line right now seems to be Indiana by 4.5 or 5 depending on whose site you visit. Ryan's is an intriguing prediction because, if Massey's site is to be believed, then the odds of Michigan by 10 would sit at 3.3%. Then again, this team can do the improbable well too.

Assembly hall is a snake pit for opponents, it makes me sick how favorable the calls the Hoosiers get at home.

When Playing the Hoosiers in Bloomington, other teams could be called hosed.

The slow start at OSU still haunts me. We didn't react well, and this is a better in an environment at least as hostile an environment. The officiating is a concern as well. If we win this one, it speaks volumes about  our team.
