It has been an awesome ride with Juwan Howard as Michigan basketball‘s head coach during these first two months of the season. But now, it gets real for the Wolverines and Howard as they get set to take on Michigan State.
As a former Michigan basketball player, Howard will need no introduction to the importance of this rivalry, which is pretty similar to Ohio State for the football team. Not in results, although the Spartans have won three in a row, including the Big Ten tournament title game last year.
MSU also swept Michigan basketball in the regular season, which cost the Wolverines a chance at a Big Ten regular-season championship.
