Connor Harding and Kolby Lee each posted 12 points, four rebounds and two assists.

The Wolverines are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games versus a team with a winning home record.
BYU is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games and 16-7 ATS in their last 23 overall. The Cougars have shown an explosive offense to start the season even though it hasn't been against the stiffest of competition. BYU is returning just a couple of starters from last year's team, but the new players seem to be fitting in nicely. I like BYU to cover the BIG number.

Play on BYU. This is a 6* play
