Michigan coach Juwan Howard knows what it’s like to play on the big stage of Christmas Day.
For the first time in a long time, the No. 19-ranked Wolverines will get a taste of that experience when they hit the road and take on Nebraska Friday under the holiday lights.
"It's truly a blessing,” Howard said Wednesday. “We're embracing it. I know a lot of us had a conversation with our guys on how many have sat back and watched NBA games on Christmas and wished and prayed they could be on a team and be that player playing on Christmas Day.
