Preview of Rutgers vs Michigan

Rutgers 

Rutgers enters this game as the winner of two straight and looks to avenge a loss to Michigan earlier this month (66-63). 

Star freshman and future lottery pick Dylan Harper missed the previous matchup due to an injury. He returned the next game and has had himself a month! 

In February Harper is averaging 21 ppg while setting a career-high 34 points two games back. 

Harper is a major factor in this Rutgers vs #15 Michigan AI Prediction. 

A second freshman of note is Ace Bailey. If Michigan shuts down Harper, Bailey is just as capable of putting up numbers. Bailey has scored 30 or more in three games this season.

Michigan plays great defense but goes through scoring droughts on the offensive side of the ball. 

Rutgers is a poor defensive team but their offense is red hot! 

9.5 points is way too much for Michigan to cover.
