Wilson - Knee - Questionable G - Caris LaVert - Foot - Out for seasonScouting Michigan Michigan comes into Tuesday’s game with a 12-8 record and is tied for fourth in the Big Ten with a 5-3 record. The Wolverines lost three starters - including a pair of first-round draft picks - from a team that went 28-9, won the Big Ten title and reached the Elite Eight in 2014. This season, Michigan has battled injuries, none as big as a the season-ending injury to junior guard Caris LeVert. The 6-foot-7 junior topped Michigan in scoring, rebounding assists and steals when he suffered his injury in the final seconds of a two-point win over Northwestern on Jan. 17. Michigan has battled since the injury, winning at Rutgers before taking No. 6 Wisconsin to overtime before falling, 69-64 on Saturday. Sophomore Zak Irvin and Derrick Walton Jr. key the Wolverine attack, as Irvin averages 13.6 points per game and has a team-high 49 3-pointers, while Walton averages 10.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. Michigan is a solid 3-point shooting team at 35 percent and rarely beats itself, averaging under 10 turnovers per game. 1 Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 All the games are big ones, but this might be as big as they come in the first half of the B1G. Michigan has played tough since losing their best player. Win here pushes us in to the top half of the B1G. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 If we want to compete, we need to win tonight. Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 IMO.... Every game between now and Wisconsin are must wins. You can't lose to these teams if you expect to get an at large. On paper it appears Neb is better than Michigan. If we have learned anything in the BigTen this year is don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch. Quote Link to comment
