The Michigan Wolverines Men’s Basketball team is putting together a solid 2024-25 season and are currently ranked No. 24 in the nation. At 16-5 and 8-2 in the Big Ten, Michigan is in good position to make the NCAA Tournament as well as make a run for the Big Ten Championship.
The Wolverines have ten regular season games remaining. Here’s a look at the schedule and their probability of winning each game, per ESPN Analytics.
- 2/5 vs Oregon: 73.8% chance of winning
- 2/8 at Indiana: 59.9% chance of winning
- 2/11 vs No. 7 Purdue: 54.6% chance of winning
- 2/16 at Ohio State: 40.3% chance of winning

- 3/5 vs Maryland: 59.8% chance of winning
- 3/9 at No. 9 Michigan State: 32% chance of winning
With this data in mind, we want to know how many wins you think Michigan will have the rest of the regular season.
Michigan is favored in eight of the 10 games and are favored in every game at home. Michigan is a road underdog against its biggest rivals, Ohio State and Michigan State. An interesting one is Michigan being a narrow favorite at the Crisler Center against Purdue, who humbled Michigan in West Lafayette last month and beat the Wolverines 91-64.
Michigan being favored at an 80% clip for the final ten games speaks to the turnaround for the team during Dusty May’s first season as head coach. A year ago, the wheels were falling off for the Wolverines. And now a year later, there’s a chance Michigan has momentum heading into the NCAA Tournament.
