Will NU beat Michigan today? Olah will be the key

[lou v]

Northwestern senior center Alex Olah will be the key in today's Big Ten Tournament matchup against Michigan. The Wolverines have never really had an answer for the Big Fella.

According to NUSports.com, NU's 7-footer has scored in double figures in each of his six career meetings against Michigan. Olah has averaged 16.3 points and 58.6 percent shooting against the Wolverines in his career. Over the last two years, he has been even better, averaging 22.0 points per game against Michigan, including a career-high 25 last March. Olah is coming off of a 19-point, five-rebound performance in the teams' last, and only, meeting this year, a 72-63 loss to the Wolverines on Feb. 24.

I'm feeling an upset win for the Cats this afternoon. Olah will be dominant and Tre continues his hot shooting. Aaron will hit the game-winning 3!

BTW, the over/under is 132 1/2, which combined with the 2.5 point spread implies a 67-65 game. I'll take the under, for the Cats to win they need to stop the Michigan 3's and keep this a relatively low scoring game.

We won't get screwed by the refs twice in a row! We beat em two weeks ago imho.

I dream of days when Olah and Demps play well at the same time ... and for an entire game. If that happens, Cats win!!

In the reality of things, I hope we get a good game from at least one of them.

Between Olah, Demps and Falzon, the Cats really need two of them to play well. Fingers crossed.
