A historically bad season for the Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball team ended familiarly Wednesday night, as inconsistent defense, too many turnovers and a broken offense led to a 66-57 loss to Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament.
The Wolverines finished the season with an 8-24 record, and last place in the Big Ten with a 3-18 record against conference opponents. They broke the program record for losses in a single season and had their fewest Big Ten wins since the 1966-67 season.
It’s been a tough season for Juwan Howard, who was asked after the loss if he’s had conversations with athletic director Warde Manuel or any Michigan administrators regarding his future with the program.
