Michigan basketball is one win away from the Sweet 16. The Wolverines knocked off UC San Diego on Thursday.
Texas A&M also avoided an upset against Yale. The Wolverines and Aggies were each trendy picks to get upset in the first round, but they will meet in Denver in a battle of SEC/Big Ten teams.
The Big Ten went undefeated during the first two days of the NCAA tournament, but that doesn't mean much for Michigan basketball. Texas A&M is a battle-tested team. They have a slew of veterans back from last season's round of 32 team.
Michigan has proven it can win close games and Saturday is likely to be that. At any rate, here are the odds, how to watch, and a final prediction.

Michigan vs Texas A&M prediction
We have taken a deeper dive into this matchup already. Here are the keys for Michigan basketball, and some other things that the Wolverines need to do to pull off the upset over fourth-seeded Texas A&M.
This isn't a great matchup for Michigan but at times this season, it hasn't mattered. If Michigan knocks down 3-pointers, it has a good chance to win. However, the Aggies will get too many extra possessions and I don't know if the Wolverines shoot well enough to win.
Prediction: Texas A&M: 75, Michigan 70
