Juwan Howard reacts to loss at Illinois: ‘We’re a better defensive team than that’

Juwan Howard and the Michigan Wolverines fell to 1-1 in Big Ten conference play on Wednesday night in a 71-62 loss to Illinois on the road, which was another outing where they were doomed by their outside shooting away from the friendly confines of Michigan fans.

The Wolverines went 2-for-12 from beyond the arc in this game and finished the night 3-for-18 overall. In a lot of ways, it was nearly a carbon copy of the recipe that led to the loss in the only other true road game they have played so far this season last week at No.
