Next: Xavier

Michigan travels to Cincinnati tonight to face the 12th ranked Lady Musketeers at 7:00 tonight. Xavier is probably the best team Michigan has faced to date - they have already beaten two ranked teams in Arizona State and Kansas while losing on the road at Michigan State.

Once again Krista Phillips will have her hands full - one of Xavier's top players is 6'6" center Ta'Shia Phillips, who is averaging 12.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Michigan will also have to keep an eye on forward Amber Harris who leads Xavier in scoring with 14.1 points per game and chips in 8 rebounds as well.

Michigan is definitely the underdog, but if they can avoid mistakes and stay focused they might have a shot at the upset - Xavier only beat Kansas by 5 (at home), and using Jeff Sagarin's ratings is only a slight 1 point favorite
