The LBSU Beach's road trip will continue as they head out to face the Michigan Wolverines at 7:00 p.m. ET on November 17th at Crisler Center. LBSU might want some stickum for this contest since the team gave up 18 turnovers on Tuesday.

It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and post ten fewer assists than your opponent, a fact LBSU found out the hard way. They took a 88-76 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Aztecs. LBSU has struggled against San Diego State recently, as their game on Tuesday was their third consecutive lost matchup.

LBSU's loss came about despite a quality game from Aboubacar Traore, who scored 14 points along with 8 assists and 6 rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of AJ George, who scored 15 points along with 3 rebounds and 1 steal.

Meanwhile, Michigan had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 27.5 points), and they went ahead and made it three on Monday. They took down the Red Storm 89-73.

Michigan can attribute much of their success to Dug McDaniel, who scored 26 points along with 7 assists and 6 rebounds. Nimari Burnett was another key contributor, scoring 21 points along with 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Beach now have a losing record at 1-2. As for the Wolverines, their victory bumped their record up to 3-0.

While only Michigan took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread. Looking ahead to Friday, Michigan is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 15 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last three times they've played.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: LBSU have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Michigan struggles in that department as they've been even better at 39.7 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
