Michigan basketball takes on UCF (University of Central Florida) in Orlando, Florida. Michigan is coming off nearly a 2-week stint from Basketball. Both teams are coming off wins however, Michigan is looking to derail UCF’s win-streak and finally turn the tables on this questionable start to the season.

Wow, it seems like forever since we’ve talked about Michigan Basketball. With the unfortunate rise of Omicron cases, Michigan had its latest game canceled, creating roughly a 10-day gap between their last game and this game.

To refresh your memory, Michigan defeated Southern Utah in what most people claimed to be the “we’re back” game however, I tend to disagree.

We’ve been at this for a while waiting for this team to click, they’d beat a team far less superior in talent 9/10 times, but UCF is truly a team where if Michigan dominates you could say “we’re back.”

UCF is no slouch like they have been in previous years. Sitting at an 8-2 record and just outside of the AP-25 they’ll be out for blood against the Wolverines. Knocking out teams like Auburn on the road by 20 and holding Temple to just 48 points on the road, they’re battle-tested and not scared.

Let’s take a look at things you’re going to want to watch in what is sure to be must-watch TV regardless of what Bowl Games are going on.
