Analysis
I respect what Kelvin Sampson has done with this Houston team but feel like they will finally run into trouble in the paint with Wagner and Teske.  Duncan Robinson must come to the party early this time and start knocking down three's to take pressure off Wagner and Abdur-Rahkman.
Michigan needs to stay on outside shooters Rob Gray, Corey Davis Jr & Armoni Brooks.  With Wagner in the paint they should be able to hold their own on the perimeter without having to double down as long as the two big guys stay out of foul trouble.
Robinson is a major key as he is capable of lighting it up but really needs to start hitting earlier than later.  He has been getting off to slow starts and can not do that today as Houston's 3 assassins from downtown should knock down some shots.  Geographically the game is much closer to Houston as it is in Wichita but Michigan travels well.  It's a solid match-up and Beilein & Sampson is a good battle of wits but Wagner is one of my favorite players and he should have a big game against a slower Cougar interior of White, Zanna & Brady.  I picked Michigan to get through this game prior to the tournament so I'll stick with my guns.....Wolverines by 6-12
