UC San Diego vs. Michigan picks and predictions Prediction Michigan 72, UC San Diego 67 MICHIGAN (-145) is worth playing if you're a little on the conservative side, and you're concerned about a close game with the Big West representatives UC San Diego (+118). The Wolverines stubbed their toe down the stretch with 3 straight losses to close out the regular season, but they're obviously steaming in with a ton of confidence after winning the Big Ten Tournament title. MICHIGAN -2.5 (-110) is laying a tiny amount of points for a 5 vs. 12 matchup, but traditionally, that's where we have had the most memorable upsets in the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines are a dismal 1-11 ATS in the past 12 as a favorite, so there is a lot of concern. But, May and Goldin have plenty of NCAA Tournament experience, something UC San Diego +2.5 (-110) has none of. Michigan likely will get a scare, but it will do enough to survive and advance. UNDER 141.5 (-105) is worth a look in the nightcap in Denver. The total has gone low in 3 of the past 5 games for Michigan, while going low at a 9-6 clip in the previous 15 outings since Jan. 27. The Triton have cashed low at a 3-0-1 pace in the past 4 games, while going 6-1-1 in the previous 8 outings. UC San Diego allowed just 61.6 PPG, which ranked sixth in the nation, while allowing 39.6% from the field, ranking 12th. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!
