Ann Arbor — Nearly a third of the way through the Big Ten slate, Michigan finds itself toward the bottom of the standings.
The Wolverines are one of four teams who have fewer than three wins in conference play and are sitting alone in 11th place with a 2-4 mark heading into Tuesday’s games.
But after playing four of its first six Big Ten contests on the road, Michigan (11-6) enters a critical stretch where four of its next six games will be at Crisler Center, starting with Wednesday’s contest against Penn State.
