Michigan Basketball: 3 predictions and how to watch vs Air Force

After a week off, Michigan basketball will host Air Force Saturday at Crisler Arena. Here are three predictions, as well as how to watch and stream.

The last time we saw the Michigan basketball team in action, the Wolverines shrugged off a slow start and a pesky Western Michigan squad to win 70-62.

The victory got Michigan basketball to 11-0 but it was concerning to see the now fourth-ranked Wolverines struggle against a team ranked outside the top 200 of the Kenpom rankings.

Saturday, the Wolverines will face another such team in Air Force, which is ranked 253rd according to Kenpom. The Falcons come into the game with a 4-6 record, yet only three of those wins are against Division I opponents.

To be blunt, this isn’t a strong Air Force basketball team and that’s even compared to Western Michigan. Colorado is the only power-5 team the Falcons have played and they lost by 37 points against the No. 62 team (Kenpom).

Therefore, it shouldn’t be too big of a challenge for Michigan basketball, but if UM gets off to another slow start, it could be in for another grind-it-out game. Before going too much farther into the matchup though, here is the basic game info including how to watch and stream.
