The Michigan Wolverines fell to the Illinois Fighting Illini on Tuesday night, 97-68, marking back-to-back 20+ point losses for the Wolverines.
Michigan went into Champaign after a 20-point loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday, looking to play more like it did against No. 11 Wisconsin last Wednesday.
The first half started close for the Wolverines and Illini, trading Terrance Williams II and Coleman Hawkins’ buckets early to stay within three points through six minutes. Out of the under-16-timeout (at 13:46), however, Illinois went on a 12-2 run, shooting 6-for-6 while Michigan shot 0-for-4 in three minutes to take an 11-point lead.
