The Michigan Wolverines (7-4, 1-1 Big Ten) host the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons (5-5, 1-1 Horizon) for their last home game before the New Year. Michigan opens as the heavy favorite on ESPN’s Power Index and should win this game handedly. The Wolverines came away with a win against Southern Utah this past weekend as they found solid footing while working through their early season woes. Michigan will continue to move past the losses earlier this year, looking to contend for the Big Ten and return to the AP rankings.
This game leans heavily in Michigan’s favor, as it leads the Mastodons across every metric except steals and points per game, where both average 73.
