Michigan basketball and Indiana are two of four teams with a 6-7 record in Big Ten play.
Yet their paths to a meeting on Sunday at Crisler Center — the only contest between the two teams this season — have differed drastically.
Over the first eight games of Big Ten play, the Wolverines limped to a 2-6 start, hurt by their inability to defend and the absence of then-injured forward Isaiah Livers. The Hoosiers, meanwhile, jumped to a 5-3 start, placing them near the middle of the pack.
Both paths have diverged since.
