Another dominant showing against an overmatched Chattanooga team today. Michigan still has the best defense in Kenpom and fewest points per game allowed. North Carolina is 2nd to Gonzaga in points per game on offense and #3 in Kenpom offense, so that should be a great matchup next week.
Meanwhile, Michigan's offense continues to get better now that the rotation has been established. Matthews is still forcing some unnecessary shots instead of passing it off, but otherwise, everyone is getting and taking good shots. From what I've seen of North Carolina, their defense isn't that great, but Kenpom has it ranked 17th despite allowing 72.9 points per game (177th in the country), though they have played a reasonably tough schedule so far (UCLA, Texas, Stanford).
If the offense keeps playing well, Michigan should be able to score at least 70 and win. The one minor concern I have is that the regular rotation hasn't had to play a full game yet (much less been involved in a very competitive one), so we'll see how they react if they get behind and/or have a game that remains close right to the end.
