Staring a potential 1-4 start in the face, the Michigan Wolverines desperately needed a win over struggling Maryland on Tuesday and delivered. The contest was never particularly close, with the home team cruising on offense and giving the Terrapins all they could handle in a much-needed 19-point victory.
The task becomes tougher now with Michigan seeking something it has only done twice (!!) all season: following up a win with another one — let that sink in. Sunday’s opponent is a surprisingly decent Indiana squad, who just upset top-five rival Purdue, that enters as the favorite, though Kenpom has the teams pretty close overall.
