The Michigan Wolverines are still firmly sitting on the bubble with a week left to play in the regular season. A tough loss to Illinois at home on Sunday cost them a shot at making some headway in the selection committee’s eyes. Now at 15-12 and with only three games to go, they are desperate for some big late-season wins.
They’ll have the opportunity to do just that tonight as the Spartans come to Ann Arbor for a game that almost always meets expectations. A little extra heat is always in the air when these two face off, and Michigan’s bubble status is only going to add to that.
