Michigan -2 vs Purdue

Michigan was embarrassed in their first meeting against Purdue, being down by as much as 30 at one point. Michigan turned the ball over 22 times in that game, a mark I expect to go down at home this time. In their last meeting, Purdue got to such a big lead early that Michigan kind of ditched their game plan and took a lot of threes rather than attacking the inside with Wolf or Goldin. Purdue had 40 points in the paint compared to Michigan’s 28, which should not happen given the skill of Michigan’s big men. I tend to favor Michigan in close spots just because of Danny Wolf. Wolf is probably my favorite player in college basketball, im literally obsessed with the speed and playmaking he has at his size. I also tend to favor whoever is playing Purdue because I fucking hate Braden Smith so this is kind of an auto-bet for me.

Syracuse ML +105 @ Miami

+ money for the most sorry team in college basketball to lose? Sign me up! I don’t care that this is a long road trip for the orange, I don’t care that they haven’t really looked the same since Donnie Freeman went out for the season, I don’t care that Miami has looked a lot better in the last two games, I don’t care that every sports bettor on Twitter will probably have Miami. This Miami team is BAD! Miami only has one real win all season and I’d be shocked if they get their second today. Miami has a -1.52 Net Rtg on kenpom which is lower than some hilarious schools including Longwood, UCR, Wyoming, and Robert Morris. They are also a laughable 341st in defensive rating which makes them by far the worst power 5 team in that stat. I have 0 analysis on Syracuse and how they matchup in this game because it wouldn’t change a thing for me.
