Michigan basketball is going to be in trouble if it doesn’t figure out a solution to a glaring problem.

The Wolverines didn’t have any answers on Thursday night when Nebraska switched on every screen to minimize Mortiz Wagner.

They struggled offensively in a 72-52 loss in Lincoln, Neb. Wagner made 1 of 5 shots in 33 minutes. He finished with two points and seven defensive rebounds.

“He’s really good,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said of Wagner.
