A 1-2 showing in the Bahamas was not the trip the Michigan Wolverines hoped to have, and after a rough four-game stretch the team is barely above .500. The Wolverines still have a couple big non-conference games left on a slate, but not a lot of time to figure things out. With the early Big Ten games starting next week, Michigan first travels to a future Big Ten venue.
The Oregon Ducks are coming off of a poor MTE showing as well, losing both Emerald Coast Classic games against Santa Clara (ranking around 15 spots higher than Long Beach State in Kenpom) and Alabama.
