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.
Michigan turned in another stagnant offensive performance on the road and had a late comeback bid fall short in a 71-62 loss at State Farm Center.
The Wolverines shot 43.5 percent (27-for-62) from the field and 16.7 percent (3-for-18) from 3-point range — their second-lowest marks of the season behind the loss at Louisville.
"First half, I thought we took too many quick shots,” Michigan coach Juwan Howard said.
