Result: Win
ESPN Interconference Game of the Year

Michigan won Battle 4 Atlantis beating Iowa State, North Carolina, and Gonzaga went from unranked to No. 5 but this creates an incredibly tough spot. Huge letdown for Michigan played three games in three days in Bahamas and just three days off playing Louisville first home game since getting No. 1 spot.

Cards ton of home cooking and short, easy trip to Nashville. Clearly they will have fresher legs. Juwan Howard biggest challenge of career bar none to get team up. Michigan lost top three scorers and no top 100 recruit. Michigan with four excellent bench players in David DeJulius, Colin Castleton, Adrien Nunez, Brandon Johns Jr., and Wagner but as much as it helps when all are playing three games in three days, not as much here. The rest was long enough to get them out of their overachieving groove, but too short to overcome the travel hangover. The schedule-maker is just way too kind to the chalk here.
