Takeaways from Michigan’s home loss to Illinois

Remember how you felt on Monday, when Michigan beat their rival and the Fab Five was all there in person to see it? Cherish that feeling, because it was a win against a Big Ten team, and with how the Michigan men’s basketball has been playing this season, we may not see many more of those.

After a solid first half, the Wolverines fell apart in the second half, getting outscored by the No. 14 Illinois Fighting Illini 51-37 in the second half to lose, 88-73. Michigan falls to 7-11 on the season and 2-5 in conference play.
