The 17-14 Michigan Wolverines lost as a 3-point favorite against Indiana in the first round of the Big Ten tourney. The 25-5 Colorado State Rams were bounced by San Diego State in the Mountain West Tournament. Sure, Michigan's record is unimpressive because it has played one of the nation's toughest schedules, but this team is nowhere near as good as the one that reached the Elite Eight last season while Colorado State has one of its best teams in school history. I think the Rams will be the hungrier side.

8* play on Colorado State.
