Make it three straight for the Michigan Wolverines, after trouncing — yet at times holding on against — Nebraska. It was not the cleanest win on Wednesday night, but earlier this season sloppy play led to far too many nail biters; this one really never got too close, despite some ugly stretches by the home team.
The rest of the schedule does not allow for any more lackadaisical play, which is a good thing for the Wolverines. Four of the seven remaining contests come against teams currently ranked in the top 26 of the NET rankings, which is higher than Michigan’s best win of the season (at home against Maryland).
