Indiana vs Michigan Prediction & Pick

Everything is on the line for Michigan. The Wolverines sit on the outside looking in when it comes to the NCAA Tournament and beating a ranked team on the road would go a long way in changing that. It's worth pointing out that Michigan has defeated Indiana in nine of the last 11 head-to-head matchups.

Indiana isn't going to just roll over, though, and is in need of a change in momentum ahead of the Big Ten Tournament. The Hoosiers are averaging a reliable 80.4 points on a 51.8% shooting percentage in home games this season. The Wolverines do not have the depth to keep up in a likely shootout.

Indiana has won 14 of its last 16 games at Assembly Hall, so back the Hoosiers in a close one.

Final Score Prediction: Indiana: 71 | Michigan: 67

Indiana vs Michigan Best Bet

Illinois had no answer for Dickinson on Thursday, but Indiana has Jackson-Davis ready to patrol the paint on defense. He held Dickinson to 16 points on only 10 shot attempts in the Hoosiers' 62-61 road win over the Wolverines on Feb. 11. Jackson-Davis tallied 28 points and 11 rebounds as well.

Michigan has been held to under 71 points in eight of its last 13 games. Keep in mind that two of the five games in which it wasn't were overtime battles, too. Indiana has held its opponent under 71 points in 10 of its last 14 games and I expect the Hoosiers to step up on defense in front of a rowdy crowd.

Bet: Michigan Wolverines Under 70.5 Points (-110)
