Michigan vs Texas A&M Prediction 

Texas A&M was able to pick up a comfortable win against Yale in their opening game and they will look to continue their hot shooting here. The Aggies have had problems shooting from the field this season, but they did shoot 51% against Yale. Michigan nearly collapsed in the second half against UC San Diego, with turnovers and poor free throw shooting being a big issue. Michigan has had issues rebounding at times this season and I think that is going to be a big issue for them in this matchup. The Wolverines will need a huge game from Wolf and Goldin in order to keep it close, but I think we are going to see a lower scoring game, as Michigan tries to slow down the pace. Take the under here.
