Michigan basketball returns home on Wednesday night for a tilt against the Tarleton State Texans, who are 1-4 this season after making the leap to Division I last year. The Texans are coached by former Texas A&M and Kentucky headman Billy Gillespie and are expected to be in the mid-to-lower tier of the WAC this season. KenPom projects a 74-53 Michigan victory in a tuneup game before the meat of the non-conference schedule kicks in. Here are four things to watch for in Wednesday night’s game at Crisler Center, which tips off at 7 p.m. on Big Ten Network.
