Following the altercation after Sunday’s loss to Wisconsin, Michigan will be without head coach Juwan Howard for the remainder of the regular season. Additionally, forwards Moussa Diabate and Terrance Williams II will miss Michigan’s next game against a red-hot Rutgers team on Wednesday.
In order to get into the NCAA Tournament, Michigan needs to avoid slipping in these last five games, and being shorthanded for that game against the Scarlet Knights certainly doesn’t help the Wolverines. With two of Michigan’s 4’s unavailable for the game, this is the perfect opportunity for senior Brandon Johns Jr.
