What Experts Are Saying
While Tennessee has had more success this season, D.J. James of the Action Network believes the club will have issues with Michigan’s size. The analyst also added that the Wolverines should be able to defend the 3-point line against Tennessee.
“All of these signs point to Michigan covering the spread on a neutral court. This game could be a one-possession game, given Michigan’s mismatch here, so take it at +6, and play it to +5. There is value on the Wolverines.” James writes.
