Ann Arbor — The Wolverines are hoping history repeats itself.
During the 2016-17 season, Michigan entered its February rematch against Michigan State with a 14-9 record and an NCAA Tournament resume that needed some work.
This past weekend, the Wolverines carried a 13-9 mark into their second encounter with the Spartans as a team sitting firmly on the tournament bubble.
Both times Michigan was coming off a crushing defeat to Ohio State at Crisler Center.
