After losses by Nebraska and Illinois on Tuesday night, the Michigan basketball team has a golden opportunity to take control of the Big Ten title race this week.
The Wolverines could also take hold of the No. 1 ranking in college basketball with wins at Northwestern on Wednesday night, as well as a home game against UCLA this weekend.
First things first, though, will be winning a road game against pesky Northwestern, a team that took the Wolverines to overtime last season. Chris Collins also knocked out Dusty May's FAU squad from the NCAA tournament back in 2024.
