Chaundee Brown transferred from Wake where he put up 12.1 points and grabbed 6.5 rebounds. Brown was declared immediately eligible earlier this month and will be in the mix here.
Bowling Green will be a contender in the MAC this season. Michigan is going to have to be better when it comes to shooting from the perimeter and on the glass. Michigan has a very good freshman class to work in the lineup. Eastern will stay around for a half but the Wolverines talent will pull away at the end.
Play on Michigan.
