Michigan basketball vs. Illinois: Scouting report, prediction
Juwan Howard explains what he saw in Michigan's loss to Penn State at Crisler Center, Jan. 22, 2020. Detroit Free Press
Michigan basketball played Illinois just over a month ago.
It feels like a lot has changed since then.
The Wolverines' 71-62 loss at State Farm Center on Dec. 11 started a stretch during which Michigan has lost six of its past nine games. The Illini, meanwhile, are surging — they are 8-2 in their past 10 games and are currently in the midst of a five-game conference win streak. Their most recent contest: an impressive 79-62 win at Purdue.
