(10) Michigan vs. (2) Oklahoma NCAA Tournament Odds: The 10th seeded Michigan Wolverines are coming off a huge, 62-59, NCAA Tournament Odds upset victory over the 7th seeded Clemson Tigers on Thursday. Can they do it again tonight live from the Sprint Center (Kansas City, MO), beginning at 5:50 PM ET (2:50 PM PT) against the second seeded Oklahoma Sooners?
According to oddsmakers at SBGgobal.com, there will not be an upset tonight, as the Oklahoma Sooners [-7] are listed as the Sports Odds favorites to win tonight’s game against the dangerous Michigan Wolverines [+7] in the South Region’s second round of play. 
One of the biggest concerns for Michigan tonight will be containing Oklahoma’s hefty forward, Blake Griffin. Morgan State tried some wresting moves against Griffin to no avail. Michigan won’t be going that route, as they’re likely to try something more conventional like a few double teams or collapsing on him with zone looks.
“Oh, boy, it’s really hard,” Michigan coach John Beilein said of slowing down Griffin. “The individual (defender) has got to be very tough and then you have to play great team defense around him.” The OVER/UNDER for this, Michigan vs. Oklahoma NCAA Tournament Odds has been calculated at a combined total of 135 points.
In round 1, Ameer Ali, a reserve forward for Morgan State, locked arms with Griffin, then bent over and flipped him to the court; something reminiscent of the UFC. However, Griffin just bounced back up and kept playing, putting on another dominating display of power: 28 points and 13 rebounds. Ali was immediately ejected.
“My reaction is still the same at last night: We got tangled and he took it personally,” Griffin said. “I don’t think he was really trying to hurt me. He just got caught up in the heat of the moment and things happen.”
