The last time Michigan basketball walked off the floor at the Crisler Center, it was following a bitter defeat last Sunday to the Michigan State Spartans.
That defeat will likely cost Michigan a chance at the Big Ten championship, at least the regular season championship. But the Wolverines still have plenty to play for and if they win their last three games, a loss by Purdue is all that would be needed to earn a share of the title.
Michigan basketball doesn’t control its own destiny as it did going into the Michigan State game, but in terms of what really matters, the Wolverines still control their own fate.
