Can you please rephrase your request?

Michigan is currently dominating college basketball, making it difficult to find a team that performs better.

In recent weeks, the Wolverines have demonstrated their prowess by consistently defeating highly ranked opponents, solidifying their position as a formidable contender for the championship.

Will Juwan Howard’s team be able to maintain their momentum and make their way to a Big Ten championship? Or will their aspirations dwindle before March Madness betting intensifies?

Currently, this is the status of the University of Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball team.

Michigan scores another big win

To start, Michigan’s record now stands at 11-0 for the season and 6-0 in the Big Ten following their impressive 77-54 victory against No. 9 Wisconsin yesterday.

Michigan dominated the game by outscoring the Badgers 43-6 during a particular stretch.

According to The Associated Press, this win signifies a remarkable achievement in history, as it is the first instance where a team has triumphed over three consecutive ranked opponents by a margin of 19 points or more.

In the 2020-21 college basketball season, the Wolverines have emerged as one of the three unbeaten teams from the Power 5 programs. Alongside Michigan, we have the prestigious Gonzaga (12-0) at the top spot and Baylor (11-0) holding the second position.

What actions did Michigan take to shift the odds in their favor?

1. Opponents unable to keep pace

Michigan’s success so far in the season can largely be attributed to their exceptional shooting skills.

Michigan’s shooting percentage from the field stands at 52.4% following their victory on Tuesday, placing them seventh in the national rankings.

Michigan’s 3-point shooting has been exceptional, with an average of nearly eight made per game. In their recent triumph, Michigan converted 9 of 16 attempts from beyond the arc.

On the other hand, Michigan’s opponents are struggling to find success in making quality shots. The Wolverines’ defense is impressively limiting opponents to a mere 36.9% shooting, placing them 10th in the country in this statistic.

Michigan has dominated most of their games this season, winning all but one by a margin of at least ten points. Despite Penn State managing to limit the Wolverines’ offensive performance, Michigan still secured a narrow 62-58 victory on December 13th.

Michigan sports betting fans are delighted by the impressive winning margins, as the team boasts a remarkable 9-2 record against the spread this season.

2. Hunter Dickinson, a freshman phenom

Michigan’s head coach, Juwan Howard, has quickly discovered the perfect representation for his program in just his second season.

Michigan had a promising incoming class for the season, which included Hunter Dickinson, a highly talented 4-star recruit from Virginia. Dickinson, a freshman center, added depth and strength to the team.

Dickinson, who measures 7 feet and 1 inch in height, is currently leading Michigan in scoring with an average of 17.5 points per game. Additionally, he dominates in rebounding, securing an average of 7.9 rebounds per game, and excels in blocks with an average of 1.5 blocks per game.

Dickinson’s shooting accuracy has been nothing short of exceptional with the ball, as he boasts an impressive field goal percentage of .709.

Despite not being considered for the prestigious John Wooden Award, which is given to the nation’s top player, Dickinson currently holds +4000 odds from FanDuel.

3. Depth and size behind Hunter Dickinson

In addition to the exceptional performance of their freshman center, Michigan boasts remarkable depth and size in both the guard and forward positions.

Instead of entering the 2020 NBA Draft, 6’7″ senior Isaiah Livers made the decision to return for his final year with Michigan. This choice has proven to be beneficial for both parties, as he currently boasts impressive statistics of 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Franz Wagner, a 6’9″ sophomore guard, has been maintaining an average of 12.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game.

The Wolverines’ guards, Mike Smith, Chaundee Brown, and Eli Brooks, are each contributing close to 9 points per game.

The advantage of Michigan lies in its size and length, which enables them to excel in rebounding and blocking.

As of now, Michigan dominates the rebounding game with a +107 advantage over their opponents, averaging close to 10 rebounds per game. Additionally, the Wolverines assert their dominance in shot-blocking, boasting a remarkable 62-18 advantage over their opponents.

What’s coming up for Michigan Wolverines basketball

Michigan fans should only be worried about whether or not the team is reaching its peak too soon. Can the Wolverines sustain this high level of performance in the long run?

Michigan’s next game is against Minnesota this Saturday at 2 p.m. Last week, the Wolverines dominated the Gophers with a crushing 82-57 victory.

As we move forward, there are still upcoming away games for Michigan against Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Ohio State.

There are still two upcoming rivalry games against Michigan State, with the first one scheduled to take place in Ann Arbor on Feb. 6.

Michigan will finally face off against Iowa, the Big Ten preseason favorite, on March 4 at Crisler Center.

Don’t hesitate to place your bets on Michigan if you have a strong belief in their current performance. As Michigan continues to secure victories in a commanding manner, the odds of betting on them will decrease.
