Champaign, Ill. — By the time Michigan and Illinois took the court on Wednesday night, road teams had gotten off to an 0-9 start in Big Ten play.
The No. 5 Wolverines made it 0-10.
After falling into a 12-point hole with under four minutes to go, Michigan’s late comeback attempt fell short and it couldn’t buck the trend in a 71-62 loss at State Farm Center.
Senior center Jon Teske finished with 16 points and junior guard Eli Brooks and junior forward Isaiah Livers each scored 12 for No.
