Because of Fort Wayne’s Covid issues, the Michigan Wolverines had an unexpected 12-day break during the heart of December. This time of year is traditionally slower anyway, but the schedule is ready to kick into gear with the formal start to Big Ten play. Before the calendar turns, however, the Wolverines have one more major test.
Michigan hosted Central Florida last year and pulled away in the second half of a 80-58 victory in Ann Arbor. The two schools will meet again this season in the increasingly less common home-and-home with the Knights looking like a borderline top-50 team.
