Michigan vs Indiana Game Preview, Big Ten Conference Tournament
Why Michigan Will Win
And now things are back to normal.
Head coach Juwan Howard is back, the team is coming off a win over Ohio State to ruin Senior Day in Columbus, and now the season really starts.
The team isn’t playing all that poorly overall. The losses over the last several weeks have been against the Big Ten elite, but the offense is still working it around well and it’s still scoring efficiently, and this remains one of the Big Ten’s but rebounding teams.

Indiana’s defense will keep this really, really close, and the offense will have its chances down the stretch, but the mediocre free throw shooting will prove costly.
