In this article, we will formulate a Michigan vs TCU Prediction for this college basketball game on Friday, November 15th, at the Crisler Center.

TCU Looks for Fourth Win

TCU has looked good to start the season and they have won each of their first three games of the season. In the last game, though, they weren’t exactly dominant and only beat Texas State by five points. At halftime, TCU was down by two points, but they ended up fighting back and they ended up winning 76-71. TCU shot 53.8 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from behind the three-point. TCU was led by Noah Reynolds who put up 17 points. Two games ago against FGCU, the defense for TCU was lights out and they ended up 16 points. 


How Can Michigan Bounce Back?

Michigan in the first game of the season faced off against Cleveland State and it was a dominant game. Michigan scored 101 points on the way to the victory. In the last game against Wake Forest, it wasn’t as good though. At halftime, they were up by four points, but in the second half, they struggled and ended up losing by two points. Michigan had three different players that put up at least 10 points. Roddy Gayle Jr put up 11 points, four rebounds, and two assists. In this game, if Michigan wants to find success they are going to need the defense to step up in a big way. 

Total Point Facts

  • Eight of Michigan’s last nine night games against non-AP-ranked opponents have produced a total of 144 or fewer points.
  • Three of TCU’s last four games against non-AP-ranked opponents have produced a total of 147 or fewer points.

Michigan vs TCU Prediction

Michigan scored 101 points in the first game of the season and their offense is going to get back on the right track here. The way TCU looked in the last game against Texas State is a major concern to me and that is going to be the difference here. Michigan’s offense is going to run up the score, and TCU’s defense is going to have no difference here. Back Michigan against the spread here.
