Tuesday’s game of the night comes from the Big Ten Conference. Michigan has become one of the hottest teams with the College Basketball odds. Second-year coach Juwan Howard has shown the Midas Touch for his alma mater. Players respond to Howard and play a hard and full-court game. So too is Wisconsin a complete team. Namely, Greg Gard is a coach that always brings defense. This year UW has the added element of deadly 3-point shooting. Few coaches get more out of less than Gard. By contrast, Michigan always has good material. But Howard maximizes it.
