The Michigan Wolverines are one win away from locking up a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Michigan is ranked #9 nationally in 3-pointers per game (10.1), tops in the Big 10, and ranks #6 nationally with 9.6 turnovers per game. It is the second meeting of the season after Michigan bested the then-No. 3 ranked Terrapins, 70-67, last month. Zak Irvin had 22 points, while Derrick Walton, Jr. had a double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds), and Duncan Robinson drained five three-pointers to finish with 17 points. A young Maryland team has hit a wall, losing two in a row as favorites of -9 and -10 points. The Terrapins' hopes of securing a Big Ten title took a major blow following a shocking 68-63 defeat to lowly Minnesota. Sophomore guard Melo Trimble is 6-for-37 from the floor in his last three Big Ten games. This big dog matches up well again in this close one. Play Michigan.
