Losing to Wisconsin at home is a hard pill to swallow. Defense, specifically from beyond the arc, was non-existent in Michigan basketball‘s 81-74 loss to the Badgers on Thursday.
Starters D’Mitrik Trice and Aleem Ford went off from three, contributing seven of the teams 11 makes – shooting 48% to UM’s 30%. From the bench, Micah Potter had one of his best games of the season, scoring 18 points of his own and coming down with seven rebounds.
The Badgers game plan was adjusted for the absence of Michigan’s Eli Brooks, who was out after suffering a broken nose the game prior.
