There is a Monday evening game for Michigan basketball against Miami (OH). It's the second game in a few days for the Wolverines after a win over TCU on Friday.
TCU is ranked No. 61 overall according to the Kenpom rankings. Miami (Ohio) the opponent for tonight is ranked 196th. The Redhawks are a pretty average team. They do have one really talented scorer Cam Kraft, who is averaging 19 points per game.
He was a top-60 recruit in the 2022 class. The Redhawks rank outside the top 182 in points scored and allowed, as well as outside the top 125 in offensive and defensive efficiency. They shoot a lot of 3-pointers and force a lot of takeaways, which could be an issue for Michigan basketball after 21 turnovers against TCU.
Miami (OH) ranks in the top 50 in 3-point field goals and 3-point field-goal percentage. The Redhawks have four different players who average at least 1.3 3-point field goals per game. So defending that will be critical for Michigan basketball. Taking care of the ball will be too.
The Redhawks are exciting on offense but their defense is just bad, ranking 350th in 2-point percentage defense (60.5) and 246th in 3-point percentage defense at 33.8. if Michigan basketball can protect the ball and get quality shots, it should have a field day.
Michigan basketball vs. Miami (OH) odds

Michigan basketball vs. Miami (OH) prediction
The Wolverines should cruise in this one. I'd be surprised if the turnovers weren't cleaned up and Miami's defense will struggle to stop Dusty May's attack.
