Free Betting Pick: Michigan Wolverines -8
The Michigan Wolverines are one of the top teams in the nation and reasonably so as they are one of the top defensive units in all of basketball. The Iowa Hawkeyes have been inconsistent throughout the conference slate, and I think they will run into a brick wall in this one. Jordan Poole and Ignas Brazdeikis have proven they can shoulder the load and score the majority of the Wolverines points, and they might want a guy like Simpson or Teske to step up in this one. Michigan wins and covers, 73-63.
