This is shaping up to be a solid matchup between an Arizona team that’s been good on both sides of the ball and a Michigan team that’s got a point to prove coming into this game. However, while Arizona didn’t have their best stuff against Wichita State, this is still a solid Arizona team that’s been outstanding on the defensive end of the floor. Michigan’s had a tough schedule, but the Wolverines haven’t been world beaters and I think this is a game that could go down to the wire and potentially need overtime. Give me Arizona and the points here.
