I'll be somewhere in the section behind the Michigan bench today.... There should be a decent contingent of Michigan fans (nothing like Michigan - Maryland football games, of course, where we just take over their stadium) there so it'll be interesting to see how that goes.
As with the first time they played, Michigan has to take advantage of the turnover margin (Maryland has one of the worst in the country), keep it even in rebounding, and avoid any dumb fouls, because otherwise it's a pretty even matchup, even without Matthews who's status is apparently doubtful, though he had one of his better games this season against Maryland..... I'm intrigued to see how Castleton will do against their big men. I'm sure Beilein will try to only sub him in when Fernando is out, but even so.
