Every game that Michigan lost this year (with the exception of one vs. MSU) involved a subpar game for Burke. So this one will likely come down to how effective Burke is/how effective KU is in stopping him. McGary's development as a player makes it a bit more complicated, but Burke is the guy that makes everything run for them.
Putting up points against Michigan's mediocre defense may also prove to be important. They simply cannot afford to go through those long stretches of awful play against top level teams.
