Scouting Michigan

No. 12/14 Michigan heads into Sunday’s game with a 19-5 overall record and a 9-4 Big Ten mark, still hunting for a top-four seed at the Big Ten Tournament. The Wolverines are riding a three-game winning streak with wins over Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan State - all by double digits - before enjoying the week off to prepare for the Huskers, who will be playing their fourth game in 10 days.

All four of Michigan’s conference losses were to top-16 teams at game time (Ohio State, Iowa, Indiana, Maryland) and its only other loss this season was a three-point loss to Toledo.

Michigan is averaging 75.6 points and hitting 46.8 percent of its field goal attempts, including 36.5 percent of its threes, while making 6.1 threes per game in Big Ten action. The Wolverines own a plus-3.5 team rebounding margin but a minus-0.2 turnover margin. Michigan is surrendering 66.0 points per game while holding opponents to 40.4 percent shooting.
