The No. 4 Wolverines will have to wait a little bit longer before returning to action.
The Michigan basketball program announced on Saturday that Thursday’s scheduled home game against Illinois has officially been postponed.
According to the release, the decision was made “as part of the Wolverines’ return-to-play planning” following the program’s two-week pause and Michigan is “expected” to resume its conference schedule on Feb. 14 at Wisconsin.
The Wolverines, who haven’t had any positive COVID cases during the season, last played on Jan. 22. That means there will be at least a 22-day layoff between games.
