Wisconsin game predictions

We win by 17. I know this because I built a time machine Thursday morning, running on the adrenaline from the win. Or should I be saying I will build a time machine on Thursday? Whatever. Be pumped.

Pain!  For Wisconsin!

We win and I don't care by how much. JB gets his signature win and M is officially in everbodys bubble talk when its over.

IME it depends on whether Nankivil plays at full strength. Dude went 5/5 from three point range the other day. If he's out or hobbled with his ankle, our chances increase greatly. According to him, he'll be 100% for the game.

I really want to say we win as not only do we need to win games but this is the most high-profile opponent remaining (BTT notwithstanding) and we need a signature win desperately.

That said, ugh. They're a tough team to play against, we haven't matched up well with them in the past and I don't know if we can pull out a close victory against what is a better team.

UM can win and I'll be furiously cheering for them to but I think Wisconsin takes it in a close one.

I hate playing Wisconsin.  I think this is a game above most others where we really need some productive minutes out of Smotrycz while out there with Morgan.  We have not come within even 12 of them at home under Beilein, but I have a really tough time believing we get blown out.  I'll take Wisconsin by 7 and will be thrilled if I am way wrong. 

Morris has a triple-double, Hardaway goes for 50, and Novak fouls out on blocking fouls again. Oh, then Brian's head a-splodes.

mich 64 wis 61 in ot.

I predict that Michigan wins IFF the support players show up to counteract the double teams that I fully expect Wisconsin to show against our top players. If Douglass, Novak, and gang combine for a respectable shooting performance against Wisconsin, the Morris/Hardaway/Morgan trio should be freed up enough to win this game... unless the officials love Wisconsin as much as they love Ohio State.

make a few high percentage looks and we win by 4.

2-18 from 3 point land leaves too many points on the floor.

It is a toss-up.  Most games for the Michigan BB team are a tale of two teams.  When our three pointers are falling, Morris is slashing through 2-3 guys and Hardaway forgets that he has a "jr" after his name, we look scary good.  This usually happens for a stretch.  At the same time, most games also feature a stretch where we can't get a rebound, where we take unnecessary fouls, where the bench comes in and gets pushed around and where our shots are simply not falling.

This game will be determined by which of these stretches take up more of the game. 

If Michigan is going to win tonight they have to hit the three ball. Its time for Stu Douglass and Zach Novak to step up the offense and hit their open three's.  Evan needs to be able to bring a big man out and guard him to open the middle up for Morgan.

This is the toughest game remaining. Thank goodness its at Michigan. Michigan hits the three at a high percentage Michigan wins. If not, Michigan loses.

I'll set the line for outrageously horrible calls at O/U 3.5.  Michigan is the victim of at least 75% of them.  Hightower cackles with knowing glee.

I had a great feeling about this game, so I got a ticket and will be there to cheer.  The Cheese Boys are going down!  Go Blue!

.....the Badgers get stuck in a snowdrift and end  up playing the game with only a 45-minute nap under their belt. We win. 

Seriously though, I like our chances wit this game being at Crisler. Badgers are sub-.500 on the road, and we rule at home. Therefore, we rule the Badgers at home.
