Michigan hits the road on Saturday to face the No. 1 offense in college basketball. The Wolverines and Boilermakers will meet up at Mackey Arena in a battle of size, post-up offense, and questionable defense. Matt Painter has a Final Four contender that’s trying to work its way into postseason form while Juwan Howard’s team needs to figure out how to win another half-dozen games to make the NCAA Tournament.
The Wolverines have won five in a row against the Boilermakers, including a pair of games at Mackey. They’ll have their work cut out for them on Saturday afternoon (2:30 p.m., FOX) if they want to make it six, facing off against one of the most dynamic offenses in college basketball.
