Grab a coffee, a Mountain Dew or some other caffeinated beverage, because tonight's going to be a late one. Michigan (21-6, 13-3) hosts Rutgers (14-14, 7-10) tonight at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines are looking to keep pace with Michigan State, which beat Maryland last night on Tre Holloman's buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
Michigan is a 9.5-point favorite over the Scarlet Knights, and the Wolverines have an 83.8 percent chance to win, according to ESPN.
Rutgers is one of three teams Michigan will see twice in the regular season (MSU, Purdue). Last time the two teams faced off in Piscataway, Dylan Harper was out, and the Wolverines were able to hold Ace Bailey in check. Tonight, both projected top-five picks are available.
With a win, Michigan will all but lock up a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament.
