With its second true road win of the season over Iowa Tuesday, Michigan basketball is riding a nice wave of momentum as it gets ready to host Illinois at Crisler Arena Saturday.
The Wolverines come into what feels like their second Big-Ten home opener, with a mark of 13-3 overall. They are also 2-1 in the Big Ten. More impressively, Michigan basketball is on six-game winning streak. UM hasn’t lost since the Ohio State game and three of its wins came over top-100 teams.
The Wolverines have risen to No. 32 in the Kenpom rankings, while their opponent for Saturday, Illinois comes in at No.
