Rotation #721-722
Michigan +3.5 over Louisville (2u)
Went against one of my top rules for tournament play and that’s to not back teams who are overly reliant on the 3 ball (Saint Mary’s), but this Michigan team is a different animal. Rick Patino compared their 3-point shooting to the Warriors and I wouldn’t say that’s too far of a stretch. I like the fact they are playing the same stadium where they shot 55% so what is going to change? Louisville just gave up 50% to Jacksonville State from down town so if they allow that kind of shooting percentage again today they are going to be going home. Let’s be honest, Michigan probably won’t be as hot as it was against Oklahoma State, but they won’t need to score 92 points to beat this Loiusvulle team. Walton and Irvin are really stepping up as seniors and are willing this team to wins. As long as Michigan can avoid foul trouble with their starters, I like their chances today to win outright but will gladly take the 3.5 in a game that probably comes down to the wire again. Take Michigan.
