The Connecticut Huskies take a break from Big East play Saturday to meet a Michigan Wolverines team that has struggled in Big Ten play, losing five of its last six and entering the week at 4-6 in the conference after Saturday’s loss to Purdue.

Guard Manny Harris and forward DeShawn Simms carry the scoring load for U of M, and Michigan’s early-season success showed it’s capable of beating top teams. It knocked off Duke earlier in the year, and the Blue Devils were No. 1 in the country before losing to Wake last week.

Michigan’s current slide could take them to the middle of the conference pack. The game against UConn could be seen as an opportunity to get the team back on track and add a signature upset win to the Wolverines’ tournament resume.

The Huskies are currently a +650 favorite to win it all come April. Head to the Bodog Sportsbook for all of your college basketball odds.
