The Michigan basketball team hasn’t had an easy schedule by any stretch of the imagination, yet Saturday’s visit the Kohl Center to take on Wisconsin might be the biggest challenge the Wolverines have faced this season.
The Wisconsin game is the start of a brutal stretch for Michigan basketball that includes home games against Minnesota and Ohio State, as well as road games against Indiana and Iowa after Wisconsin.
Those are five very good teams. Minnesota is the lowest ranked in the Kenpom rankings and they are 64th. Wisconsin is ranked 18th, while Michigan basketball comes into the game Saturday as No.
