Games to Watch
Nov. 20 vs. UCLA (Madison Square Garden)
Michigan will be double-digit underdogs to the Bruins but could surprise a UCLA team coming off a scare from Miami-Ohio.
Dec. 6 vs. Duke
This could be the second time they play Duke if they get past the aforementioned UCLA game. They don’t match up particularly well with Duke, but then again, not many teams do. To win this game, Manny Harris, DeShawn Sims, and Zach Gibson will have to come up big. The freshmen will also have to hit their threes to keep Duke’s defense spread out.
Jan. 4 vs. Illinois
One-time Michigan commit and Detroit High School star Alex Legion will play his first game against the maize and blue. Illinois may be down a bit this year after the dismissal of Jamar Smith, but make no mistake, the Maize Rage will be out in full effect for this one.
Jan. 17 vs. Ohio State
Michigan pulled off a stunning win against Ohio State last year and will look to do so again this year. Just as in football, beating Ohio State is oh so sweet for Michigan, and the atmosphere for this one will be crazy.
Feb. 10 vs. Michigan State
The fierce in-state rivalry with Michigan State (little brother in football) is fun, but the reality is that their basketball team has been significantly better than Michigan in recent history. They again return a talented squad with big-name freshmen and seasoned veterans, but Michigan gets up for this game and could surprise. Even if they don’t, it is compelling to watch.
