The Michigan Wolverines took a step in the right direction this week with a win over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Now they are 8-4 in their last 12 games after starting the season 7-7. That run has come since a COVID outbreak in Ann Arbor postponed two games in early January where the Wolverines went 11 days without a game and a full calendar month without a win.
The final loss in those early-season struggles came at the hands of this Fighting Illini team. Michigan played without its best player, Hunter Dickinson, leading to a big night for Kofi Cockburn.
