The Michigan Wolverines are hurting. Back-to-back losses to Virginia and Kentucky are not resume killers, but the missed opportunities for a signature win really sting. However, after losing Jaelin Llewellyn for the season in Sunday’s loss, perhaps even thinking that far ahead is a little ambitious.
This is a tough time for the Wolverines to jump into conference play, but there are a few positives. First, there is only one Big Ten game on the docket this month thanks to the trip to London. Second, that game comes against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, who are likely the worst team in the league right now, sitting 147th overall per Kenpom (Nebraska is the next lowest at 82nd).
