ANN ARBOR Michigan has looked scary good for much of the Big Ten season. The two losses, most recently Tuesday’s against Illinois, have been nightmares. Juwan Howard said reviewing the tape would be a “horror film.”
What transpired at Crisler Center on Tuesday was a surprise for several reasons. Michigan had won seven straight, the last two by 16 and 22 points. Illinois was without its best player. Yet the Wolverines were flat from the opening tip, couldn’t find any offensive rhythm, and got buried midway through the second half.

There will be a lot of talent on display at Crisler Center on Thursday night. Earlier this week, two players were named among the five finalists for the Basketball Hall of Fame’s positional awards: Iowa’s Joe Wieskamp (shooting guard) and Michigan’s Isaiah Livers (small forward). The finalists for top center will come later this week, but Iowa’s Luka Garza is a lock to be included, and there’s a good chance Michigan’s Hunter Dickinson will be as well.
