Michigan Basketball: 3 predictions for the Wolverines against Illinois

Fresh off another impressive win over a top-25 opponent, the Michigan basketball team will hit the road Thursday, as the Wolverines look for the second 16-0 start in school history.

Michigan basketball won its first 16 games of the 2012-13 season, which eventually ended up with the Wolverines losing the national championship game to Louisville. You will remember that team with Trey Burke, Mitch McGary, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Nik Stauskas and others.

That was as talented a team as the Wolverines have had since the days of the Fab Five and while this year’s team may not have the same individual talent, the sum of its part might be greater.
