Game Preview
Game Preview
Michigan is scheduled to travel to Illinois on Thursday night with the aim of boosting their chances of making it to the NCAA Tournament. Currently, on the tournament bubble, the Wolverines have won six of their last eight games. Despite losing to Ohio State on Sunday, Illinois is still expected to make it to the tournament.
Michigan had a tough time from the end of November to the end of January, losing nine out of 15 games and dropping out of the NCAA Tournament picture. However, they managed to win three consecutive games, including victories over Michigan State, Rutgers, and Wisconsin, and have now returned to the bubble. The team is ranked ninth nationally in turnover rate but struggles with 2-point and 3-point shooting and offensive rebounding. Although Juwan Howard, the head coach, has failed to beat Illinois in any of the five matchups between the teams over the last four years, Michigan’s junior center Hunter Dickinson leads the team in scoring and rebounding, while Jett Howard is questionable for the game due to an ankle injury.
