Tonight’s Action

No. 9 Iowa at No. 3 Michigan

Watch: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN

Odds: Michigan -4.5 || O/U 155

Pick: Next week is March, so this Big Ten ranked showdown takes on even more significance. Michigan has to find a way to shut down Iowa big man Luka Garza (24.7 points per game), but the Hawkeyes will struggle to beat the Wolverines at the Crisler Center (11-game home win streak).

Sports Section is a believer in the Wolverines so lay the points and watch them continue to roll. This will be a low-scoring affair, though; lean under.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner, score and leading scorer of Pacers-Warriors. Golden State won 111-107 with Steph Curry and Malcolm Brogdan each scoring a game-high 24. Sports Section had an off night: We had the Pacers moneyline and the over 231. Ouch.

Subscriber Jeff Bernstein (@jnbernstein) fared much better, predicting Golden State to prevail 120-101 and Curry to lead the scorers. Nice job, Jeff!
