Michigan was embarrassed in Sunday's loss to Iowa, scoring just 44 points in the defeat. It was quite the uncharacteristic loss for a Wolverines team that had been surging towards a 1-seed. They will now look to bounce back in an equally tough road matchup against Ohio State. After playing the best basketball of her career in the month of February, top-scorer Olivia Olson struggled on Sunday. She'll aim to get back on track.

The Buckeyes managed to bounce back from a pair of tough losses, winning a high-scoring bout over USC. After falling to Maryland at home by just a point and then losing by 13 to Minnesota, Ohio State is moving back in the right direction. They have a huge momentum building chance against their top-10 rival Michigan. Jaloni Cambridge will aim to build on Sunday's 33-point result, currently ranking 6th in the country in ppg.
In this classic Michigan vs Ohio State bout, the Wolverines are the road favorites despite their recent blowout loss to a similar opponent in Iowa. The Buckeyes have had recent struggles of their own, giving them a pretty juicy looking line on their own home court. Ohio State's 88 points scored on Sunday is double Michigan's 44-point result. Even with different opponents, that is a notable difference. Take the Buckeyes to win this game.
