Gold is sharp.

I would bet on Arizona. I still can’t understand how Michigan is obliterating teams. Is it coaching or length?

Michigan has size basically. They have the biggest team in the country but I like Arizona's depth and physicality plus their guards better than Michigan which is why I'm on Arizona even though I haven't bet it yet.

I have seen you be down on Michigan in several posts and I don't know why? Best defense in the country and 5th in offensive efficiency with the ability to adapt to any style. There is a reason they are ranked #1 on Kenpom.

The only thing Michigan doesn't do well is take care of the ball. Could be the decisive factor in tomorrow's game. Other than that they're a well oiled machine but so is Arizona so it should be a pretty good game.

Ball-handling is not Michigan's strongest suit, but they are not horrific at it either, right around the national average in turnover pct. As I said both in my write-up and here in this thread, I think the biggest factor here is Arizona doing all of its scoring inside, and that will not fly against the elite Michigan interior defense. The Wildcats are allergic to 3-point shots but they may need to take and make more of those than usual to win here.

I mean they did take 15 against Purdue and they hit 5. If they shoot 33% from 3 against Michigan and find away to crack Michigans dominant defense inside I think they will win. Agree to disagree LT but I think we're splitting hairs on who the best team is and I think it's Arizona.

I have seen a few of their losses. The big man got in foul trouble against Duke and they couldn’t score. Against Wisconsin they couldn’t stop them with all their length, it was a run and gun game. Their guards seem average.

Great day ahead for sports fans & bettors

Biggest key here should be elite Michigan interior defense neutralizing one-dimensional Arizona offense that does all its scoring inside. Write-Up coming.

Nailed it.
Whomever wins that inside play will win this game.

You are citing TWO games that had high variance (foul trouble, Wiscy making 60% of 3s lol). What about all their other games where they topped 90 points half the time and their defense shut teams down?

You could be right LT. But I have seen both teams and Michigan has the best player on the floor. The next 4 best players play for the Wildcats.

Its the Michigan defense. No doubt about it. They manhandled a top team tonight.
