With Goldin and Wolf providing a platform, the Wolverines could be a real thorn in the side of the top-ranked Tigers. Michigan excels at defending the three-point line, and are a top-15 team in two-point shooting percentage on both ends of the floor. Dusty May’s squad is a force in the paint, and Auburn should be wary of a coach who knows a thing or two about upsets.
Meanwhile, John Calipari’s Arkansas have clawed their way to the Sweet 16 on the back of a strong defense. If the Razorbacks can corral JT Toppin, an upset is in the cards.
