Marquette vs Michigan College Basketball Preview

This writer finds it adorable that Shaka Smart kicked off the season with a couple of cupcake opponents, both ranked outside the top 110. Sure, give him credit for beating Michigan State in an exhibition back in October. Fine.
Maybe this DePaul alum should take it easy on old Smart, as he finally dipped into the transfer portal this offseason. He brought in former Louisville forward Sananda Fru and had a strong outing against Mercyhurst, recording season highs of 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Smart also returns two starters from a year ago, guards Adrien Stevens and Nigel James Jr., who should add plenty of depth to this Golden Eagles team.
The next two games will give us a glimpse into what to expect from the Eagles this season, as they face Michigan on Wednesday night and Missouri on Sunday in Chicago.

Are we really going to hold that UConn loss against the Wolverines? Hold it against me for betting the under in that game, which turned into the most obvious demolition in human history.
Out of the gate, Michigan has a few issues that can and should be fixed. For starters, the Wolverines have struggled with rebounding, fouling and 3-point shooting.
Now, Michigan does shoot a high volume of 3s, ranking 99th in 3-point rate, so the percentage may never look sexy when taking that many shots from deep.
However, that UConn game was a mess. Michigan committed 27 fouls in that game and followed it up with 24 against Oakland. If the Wolverines can clean that up and keep teams off the free-throw line, that would be huge.
As for rebounding, these guys need to be more aggressive. They should have the height advantage in this matchup against the Golden Eagles. If Moustapha Thiam and J.P. Estrella can get in the way of Joshua Clark and Fru, Michigan should be just fine winning the rebounding battle.
Marquette vs. Michigan Pick, Betting Analysis
With blood still in their mouth following Friday's loss, the Wolverines should play their cleanest game of the season on Wednesday.
Michigan has nothing to look ahead to, while Marquette has Missouri looming on Sunday.
Plus, Michigan has faced the tougher competition through its first two games, while Marquette has only faced Michigan State in an exhibition back in October.
The Wolverines should feel disrespected coming into this matchup as just a four-point favorite.
Pick: Michigan -4.5
