Can Michigan slow this game down? The line this morning was Villanova by 6 1/2. I would like to see Michigan win this game, since we played them.

Mo "The Kraut" Wagner kept Michigan in this half. I can see some halftime adjustments to allow the (other) UM to make a run ... but 'Nova just has too many weapons for even Michigan to stop everything. By that, I mean I do not see the Wolverines winning this with defense. Michigan has, at times in past games, shown some pretty decent offense, and I'm thinking that may be the only way they can win this ... pretty good D to keep 'Nova from running away and then countering with a bunch more offense.LivingstonNative said:Agree. We did get a tough draw. Right now, we have a tight game. If this game goes down to free throws Villanova will probably win. Villanova up 32 to 28 with three minutes to go in the half.mtgrizrule said:Normally, I'd be pulling for a team not from the Power 5 conferences. In this case, I like both teams.

Offense did not happen, so Michigan got pounded, 79-62.IdaGriz01 said:... Mo "The Kraut" Wagner kept Michigan in this half.
