Another big game tomorrow night. I think it will be interesting to see what Michigan learned from the Villanova game. Syracuse will pose similar problems for us as the post is an area of strength. Their only loss was to their only road opponent this year, at Cal where they lost by 14. They beat Iowa by 3. Something to watch for is Syracuse's shooting. They have been pretty brutal so far this year. They are 149th in scoring and 138th in FG. They are 18th in rebounding so expect them to dominate us in that category. As expected, the defense is a strength. Teams are only averaging 51 points against them. They are top 30 defensively in points allowed, steals, rebounds and blocks.
Should be a good game. Michigan will need to stay out of foul trouble this time and will need to find holes in the Syracuse defense.
