Michigan at Rutgers Free NCAAB Pick
Based on both teams' recent history this game looks like a solid Under play. I think that Rutgers can control the pace in this match, and if they do that typically results in a lower-scoring game. Michigan can hang big numbers against average defenses but rarely lights it up when facing a quality unit. I can see a score in the mid to high 120s tonight.
