The Michigan Wolverines and Indiana Hoosiers are playing on Super Bowl Sunday and the college basketball matchup is streaming from CBS on TV and comes from Assembly Hall for the Big Ten conference matchup and features a top 10 team in Michigan and they come into the game undefeated in conference play and it starts up at 1 pm.
Michigan comes into the matchup after a win against Purdue and Nik Stauskas once again led the way with 16 points and he also was best with three assists and now the Wolverines will try and stay clean within the conference against Indiana, who has already lost five games in the Big Ten and are 13-8 on the season. Michigan has been moving quickly up the rankings this season and they will next play against Nebraska on Wednesday and that will be at home at the Crisler Center. The team has won 10 games in a row and now has three of their next four on the road and they are also coming up on a very tough part of the schedule and that includes a number of ranked teams.
Michigan comes into the game scoring nearly 80 points per game and after playing against Nebraska, the team has four straight games against ranked teams and half of those are on the road with Iowa and Ohio State and after that the team has Wisconsin and Michigan State and right now both of those teams are in the top 15. The Wolverines have already won once over the Spartans and that game was at East Lansing and now they get another chance against MSU at home in a few weeks and heading into the back stretch of the schedule they have games against Purdue and then again with Indiana at home.
The team is shooting very well from the field with nearly 50 percent field goal percentage and they are also one of the top teams in assists per game and are playing against an Indiana team that is ranked fourth in the nation in rebounding and that matchup in the middle will be interesting to watch. The Hoosiers have been solid on offense while averaging 75 points per game and they come into the matchup after losing to Nebraska and they next will play against Minnesota next weekend on Saturday and that will be at Williams Arena.
Indiana has some tough games coming up as well and they have lost three of the last four games and one of those was to Michigan State and they also lost to Northwestern. Indiana has a nice win against Wisconsin when they were ranked number three in the nation and they have already lost two games to the Spartans early on the schedule. The team has a game against Michigan and then three more against other ranked schools, including Iowa, Ohio State and another matchup with the Badgers. The Hoosiers finish the season with a road contest against Michigan and that could end up being a huge matchup for the Wolverines depending how the conference standings shake out with MSU.
