What to Know

The Michigan Wolverines and the #6 Villanova Wildcats are set to clash at 7:29 p.m. ET March 24 at AT&T Center in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines will be hoping to build upon the 73-46 win they picked up against Villanova when they previously played in November of 2018.

Michigan earned some more postseason success in their contest on Saturday. They were able to grind out a solid victory over the Tennessee Volunteers, winning 76-68. It was another big night for Michigan's center Hunter Dickinson, who posted a double-double on 27 points and 11 boards.

Meanwhile, the Ohio State Buckeyes typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday Villanova proved too difficult a challenge. Villanova walked away with a 71-61 win. Forward Jermaine Samuels and guard Collin Gillespie were among the main playmakers for the Wildcats as the former had 17 points in addition to eight rebounds and the latter had 20 points.

The Wolverines are expected to lose this next one by 5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 6-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

A couple stats to keep an eye on: Michigan is second worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only ten on average. To make matters even worse for Michigan, the Wildcats rank 15th in college basketball when it comes to turnovers per game, with only ten on average. So the cards are definitely stacked in Villanova's favor.
