The Wolverines are rolling into Sunday's action and have a significant rest advantage, as they haven't played since Tuesday. The Huskies were demolished by MSU on Thursday and I'm not sure they are resilient or efficient enough offensively to bounce back against a formidable UM defense. The home squad ranks 4th in the nation in average opponent three-point percentage, 50th in average opponent mid-range percentage and 43rd in average opponent near-proximity percentage, per Haslametrics.com. UW shot the basketball like it was blindfolded versus the Spartans, which is unsurprising considering that it's not efficient from any particular area of the court.

Michigan has a significant size advantage with Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf that will lead to plenty of dunks, layups and second-chance buckets via offensive rebounds. The Huskies rank 224th in defensive rebounding and the Wolverines rank 3rd in second-chance scoring conversion percentage vs. the average opponent. Michigan has momentum, home-court advantage and edges on both ends of the court. They will win comfortably on Sunday in Ann Arbor!
