Detroit News predictions: Michigan basketball vs. Colorado State in March Madness

The Detroit News

James Hawkins, Matt Charboneau, John Niyo and Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News predict the outcome of Thursday’s NCAA Tournament game between Michigan and Colorado State in Indianapolis (12:15 p.m., CBS/950).

u25baMatt Charboneau: Before the news broke that Michigan point guard DeVante Jones would miss the game, the Wolverines were a popular "upset" pick that was easy to get behind. But the Wolverines were a bubble team for a reason and it's fair to wonder how much Jones' absence will affect them. Michigan is playing in Indianapolis and has a decided size advantage, but David Roddy is a high-level player that the Wolverines will have a hard time guarding.
