Why Michigan Can Cover the Spread

Michigan bounced back from that loss at Wisconsin on Saturday to beat Minnesota on a bucket at the buzzer Tuesday night 59-57. The Wolverines trailed the Golden Gophers by three points at halftime and by seven early in the second half but went on a 23-3 run to take a 52-39 lead.

Michigan then allowed Minnesota to tie the score at 57-57 with 30 seconds left before guard Charles Matthews dropped in a baseline 10-footer as the clock expired. On the night, Michigan only shot 34 percent from the field but held Minnesota to 40 percent field-goal shooting and won the turnover battle 16-6.

The Wolverines have now held each of their past nine opponents to under 50 percent shooting and out-rebounded seven of their past 10 foes. On the season, Michigan is 5-2 ATS when favored by single digits.

Why Indiana Can Cover the Spread

Indiana is a tough case to make, with five straight losses, including a 73-66 decision at Northwestern on Tuesday night. The Hoosiers trailed the Wildcats by four points at the half and by 15 with about 12 minutes to go, went on a 13-1 run to pull the game to 56-53 with seven minutes left but faded from there.

On the night, IU only shot 38 percent from the floor but held Northwestern to 40 percent shooting. The Hoosiers also out-rebounded the Wildcats 44-29 but committed 12 turnovers, forcing only five.

Indiana has held four of five opponents to under 50 percent FG shooting during its losing skid. The Hoosiers are just having a tough time throwing the ball in the hole themselves.

Indiana started 12-2 this season, with victories over Marquette, Louisville and Butler. Now, at 12-7 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play, the Hoosiers need a win to keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive.
