Michigan basketball will still likely be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
But the Wolverines certainly have not played to that standard the past week.
U-M dropped its second game of the week in an ugly 70-64 loss at Michigan State on Sunday afternoon.
The Wolverines shot just 41.7% from the field and played one of their worst offensive games of the season. The defense, meanwhile, had no answer for Rocket Watts, who hit a bevy of mid-range jumpers and led all scorers with 21 points.
The worst aspect of the loss for U-M, though, was the injury to starting guard Eli Brooks, who rolled his left ankle early in the first half and missed the rest of the game.
