Game Preview
This Thursday, February 2nd, the Michigan Wolverines and the Northwestern Wildcats will be facing each other in a Big Ten Conference game.
The Michigan Wolverines seem to be far from their best this season, having lost their last two games in a row against the Penn State Nittany Lions (83-61) and the Purdue Boilermakers (75-70). The defense has had a lot of problems this season, in the last game they were not able to stop the opponent’s offense and allowed 83 points, during the season they have been one of the most vulnerable defenses in the conference allowing an average of 70.4 points per game. The performance of players like Hunter Dickenson and Dug McDaniel has been vital for the offense to average 73.4 points per game. Away games have been a nightmare for the University of Michigan as they have only been able to win one away game all season. The Wolverines’ hopes of advancing after the regular season appear to be lost as they are ninth in the Big Ten Conference with a record of 11-10.
