The Michigan Wolverines and Wofford are playing in the NCAA Tournament second round on Thursday and the matchup will be streaming live online from the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee and TV coverage will be on CBS for this matchup of a two and a 15 seed and the Wolverines come in after losing the Big Ten title game to MSU and it starts up at 7:10 pm ET.
The Wolverines were one of the best teams in the nation this season and they won the Big Ten title outright in the regular season and now they have the chance to move along in the tournament and they are a heavy favorite. Nik Stauskas has been excellent once again and along with Glenn Robinson III and Mitch McGary, the team has plenty of experience and all those players have been here before and after the run last season, the team has the chance to start their run to get back to the final four and this will be a solid matchup and head coach John Beilein said he will not let his team look past Wofford.
Michigan was very impressive during the season and Stauskas led the team in scoring with 17 points per game and he shot over 47 percent from the field and he was also tops in assists this season and McGary was the top rebounder for the team with over eight per game. The team averaged 75 points per game during the season and they shot over 48 percent from the field and that was good to be in the top 25 in the nation and they will need that in this tourney. The team was ranked in the top 65 in scoring on defense and they will be tough after allowing just 65 points per game this year.
Michigan won the title for the second time in three years and while they lost to Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game in the tournament, they will be ready to rebound. Michigan had won seven games in a row before losing to Michigan State in the Big Ten finals and leading into that they defeated Ohio State and earlier in the season they beat Michigan State twice and they also defeated OSU and now they will try and move into the third round as they try to match what they did last season. Syracuse advanced to play against Dayton after they defeated Ohio State, while Harvard upset Cincinnati in the first round.
