Rutgers vs. Michigan Men: How to watch, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The No. 15 Michigan Wolverines (21-6, 13-3) sit half a game back from first place in the Big Ten, and they host the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (14-14, 7-10 Big Ten), who will want to improve their results heading into the conference tournament.

Rutgers has disappointed compared to its preseason projections. Star players Dylan Harper and Airious 'Ace' Bailey have delivered, but the players around them have struggled to impact winning.

Michigan, meanwhile, is one of the biggest surprises of the season with frontcourt duo Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf dominating.
