Michigan has been rolling through the year nicely, and so far they’re unscathed. The Wolverines beat Oakland, Wake Forest, TCU and Middle Tennessee in their first four outings, then took out San Diego State in game five. Since then it’s been four more wins over Auburn, Gonzaga, Rutgers and Villanova in succession. That gives Michigan an undefeated 9-0 run so far this season.

Elliot Cadeau topped the scorers with 18 points, four assists and three rebounds while Aday Mara had 11 points and eight boards. More Johnson chipped in 10 rebounds and seven points for Michigan in the winning effort as well.

Michigan vs Maryland Prediction

I’ll stick with Michigan I suppose. The Wolverines haven’t showed too many signs of weakness so far this year, and they’re coming off another dominant win over Villanova. Michigan shot 47.8 percent from the field with a 47-30 rebounding edge and a 46-10 advantage in the paint. It wasn’t perfect though, as the Wolverines missed 11 free throws (14-of-25 for 56 percent) and had 12 turnovers in the blowout win. Michigan has posted 86 or more points in six straight games now, with 101 or more in half of those.

As for Maryland, they were blitzed by a good Iowa team at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in their latest outing, posting just 36.2 percent from the field and 18 turnovers in a 19-point defeat. The Terrapins had scored 72 or more points in six of their previous seven outings though, and they’ll need to get back to those heights if they want to hang around with Michigan here.
