WIN

Michigan wasn't expected to be here as this young team was supposed to be a year away, but here they are. Young teams are inconsistent, and although they beat Duke and UCLA early in the season, they closed the season at just 8-10, and seven of those 10 losses came by 10 points or more - certainly not the typical NCAA Tournament team resume. Oklahoma was blowing through everyone until Blake Griffin went down with a concussion. It took him a few games to get it back but he is healthy and productive again. Griffin is probably more important than any single player to his team in the tournament, as Oklahoma has just 2 double-digit scorers. There are just no answers for Griffin on Michigan, and he could wind up with a 30-point 20-rebound game here, and it is likely Michigan is heading home after this one. I'll lay the points with Oklahoma here.
