Predictions for the 2018-19 Michigan basketball season

Last year I eased into my preseason predictions, did a fair amount of hedging, and chose some obscure stats. The results weren't great. I'm taking a different approach this time. With the confidence of Jordan Poole shooting an open jumper, here are my predictions for Michigan in this upcoming basketball season.

Wolverines win the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament

Michigan travels to Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut for a four-team tournament the weekend before Thanksgiving. U-M draws George Washington on Saturday, Nov. 17. I think Michigan wins this game and beats either South Carolina or Providence in the championship the next day.
