Texas Southern Tigers (17-8) vs Michigan Wolverines (20-4)
Date: Saturday, March 20, 2021
Start Time: 3 p.m. EST
Venue: Mackey Arena – West Lafayette, IN
Coverage: CBS
This fast-paced Texas Southern team had to earn their way into the tournament, with a win over Mount St. Mary’s in the First Four. They got hot down the stretch and even started to make long range shots, which is a bit uncharacteristic for the Tigers. However, facing one of the top teams in the country here, they must continue to knock in shots from downtown. Texas Southern turns up the pace and scores in bunches, averaging 74.8 points per game.
Not to overlook the Tigers too much, but Michigan is among the best teams in the country and faced a conference complete with teams better than Texas Southern. The Wolverines can seemingly turn on their offense at any point, and they also feature an elite defense. They are third overall in the KenPom ratings, with individual ratings of sixth and seventh in offense and defense, respectively. Michigan is arguably the most complete team in the tournament, and the odds for this matchup reflect this.
