Michigan Basketball

On Thursday, March 1st, Michigan Basketball played at Illinois. Michigan was trying to break a 13 game streak of losing at Illinois that started in 1995. Michigan Basketball came into the game ranked #16 in the nation, while Illinois came into the game unranked, trying to get a bid for the NCAA Tournament. During the game, Illinois never lead, and missed countless opportunities to take the lead. Many Illinois runs kept them close, but they could never take the lead. After Michigan’s 72 to 61 win on Thursday, they are so close to a share of the regular season Big Ten title. On Sunday, their chances rely on their primary rival, Ohio State. If Ohio State wins against Michigan State, all three teams will have a share of the title.
