Everyone wanted the Denver matchup in the tournament, wonder if maybe that wakes the Pios up a bit. They've got the FO unit to prevent the Wolverines from going on big runs. Think I'd take the points at home.

On the fence,
Michigan obviously have had their tournament face on the past few games, living on the edge.

I think this one comes down to possessions. Did little work on this. Based on my work Michigan scores .39 per possession and Denver is at .36 (unadjusted).. Michigan gives up .37 on defense per possession and Denver is at .37 also.. Michigan turns it over .46 times per possession vs .57 for Denver. Both teams make a living off winning the possession game through faceoffs. I favor Michigan slightly, but it is near impossible to predict face offs match ups.

Michigan’s tour de force in the Big 10 tournament embarrassed a couple of teams who were already locks and sent Cornell packing. The last time I saw a full Denver game was against Hopkins. I think they advance with a close win as the coach turns back into a pumpkin.

Don't sleep on the thin air. I lived in Boulder for 6 years and my first couple of weeks were gasping for air.
Both Denver and Michigan have large and aggressive defenses, and I think it'll come down to the team with the best SSDM performances.
My money is on MI for the win. They're the Cinderella this year and Denver's record exaggerates their quality of play.

Michigan will not go up a goal 6 seconds after the opening faceoff and take off from there.

No team that whips Ohio State, Hopkins, and Penn State in rapid succession can be taken lightly. Those are three very different opponents and Michigan handled them all.
I think Michigan beats Denver, convincingly.

This broadcast is a nightmare. Jay Alter is swallowing his mic, the broadcast angle is awful, Denver's field is an embarrassing eyesore, and a giant vertical line keeps sliding across the screen.

I agree the field is an eyesore. You hop fans sure love to beat up on announcers.

There’s usually not much going on on the field of B10 games. Gives people something to focus onUnknown Participant wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 5:17 pmI agree the field is an eyesore. You hop fans sure love to beat up on announcers.

Denver is dodging hard and relentlessly against Michigan. THAT’S exactly how to play against Michigan. Denver ain’t playin’ Tulip Ball.
Still early ….
