EVANSTON, Ill. — Michigan basketball has been dealt some tough breaks in the 2022-23 season.
But it seemingly got a break of its own Thursday evening in Evanston where it caught Northwestern − which had to postpone two games due to a Covid-19 outbreak within the team − on its fifth game in 11 nights.
The Wolverines didn't miss their chance to strike.
After falling down by three early in the second half of a game that was never outside of a five-point margin to that point, U-M ripped off an 22-4 run in just more than seven minutes of game time to pull away and roll to a 68-51 victory.
