Rotation #820
Michigan -9.5 over Rutgers (loss)
Rutgers is trying to get into the BIG 10 tournament and avoid the cut line, while Michigan is trying to be the regular season champs. The Scarlet Knights have two talented freshmen, Dy, Lan Harper, and Ace Bailey, but they are freshmen. Michigan plays excellent defense and has a tremendous home advantage at the Crisler Center. Rutgers struggles on the road and doesn’t have the horse to stay in the game for the long run. The Wolverines will use their size and experience to put the Scarlet Knights away slowly. Vladislav Goldin will look to bully the opposition. The season finale against Michigan State will mean nothing if they slip up against an unranked team. Take Michigan.
