Michigan 76 Boston College 70
Michigan comes up with another road win in a close contest. It was tied at halftime 34-34, but Michigan was able to out shoot BC in the second half (48% vs. 37%) and able to hit clutch free throws down the stretch to pull out the win. Add in taking care of the ball (1.00 assist/turnover ratio) and 15 steals and it adds up to another good win for the Wolverines.
Next: Boston College
Michigan travels to Boston College tonight to face the 5-3 Eagles at 7:00 tonigh. It should be an interesting matchup. Both teams have escaped Iowa City with close wins (Michigan 54-51, BC 72-67)
Using to Jeff Sagarin's current ratings (Michigan is currently 37th, Boston College 50th), the teams are very closely matched - Michigan favored, but by less than a point when home court advantage is factored in.
One of the keys for Michigan will be Krista Phillps - Boston College is led by 6'6" center Carolyn Swords who is averaging 16.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. Michigan's guards will also have their hands full with Mickel Picco, who is averaging 13.6 points and slightly over 3 three point baskets a game.
