Its very rare to win a Big Ten Championship during the week and have a bad week on the court. Michigan went 1-3 during the week and look much different then the team that took the floor against Ohio State two weeks ago.
Michigan took its team to East Lansing last night and lost to a really bad Spartans team. Yes, Sparty has been playing well at home lately and has wins over Illinois and Ohio State in the last couple of weeks, but still Michigan should've won a laugher if they had showed up at all.
To add insult to injury, Michigan lost senior guard Brooks early in the first half to an ankle injury and Franz Wagner was seen limping off the court at the end of the game.
