Michigan is coming into this game with a 6-1 record this season and the Dusty May era is off to a great start already. Their only loss this season came by 2 points in a neutral location against Wake Forest in their 2nd game of the season, but they have won their last 5 straight games since then and have been playing very well. They won all 5 of those games by 10+ points with some dominant performances, and they got some quality wins in the tournament they were just in, beating Virginia Tech and a ranked Xavier team. Their defense has been great as well, allowing just 60.1 points per game which is top 20 in the country, and they have held 2 of their last 3 opponents to 53 points or less. They are going up against a Wisconsin team that is 8-0 this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won most of their games this season by 10+ points, but they have also been playing against a lot of weaker opponents. They have a quality win against Arizona at home, but their defense has not been that great despite their weaker schedule. They just held an awful Chicago State to 53 points in their last game, but prior to that they had allowed 70+ points in 4 straight games. They are averaging 5 more points scored per game than Michigan is, but they are also allowing close to 10 points more allowed per game than Michigan is. Michigan is going to stay in this game with their good defense and they have the offense to compete with Wisconsin as well. This is also a bad spot for Wisconsin as they have a huge game next against their rival Marquette who is ranked number 5 in the country so this is a look ahead spot for them as well. Michigan is also going to get up for this game since it is a conference game and they have a chance to not only get a win against the number 11 team in the country which will boost their resume, but also be the 1st team to hand them a loss this season. Michigan will cover the spread in this game.
