The Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans were set to face off for the first time this season later this afternoon, but that will have to wait just a little bit longer due to COVID issues within U-M’s team. The program made the news official Saturday morning.
The Wolverines were able to fight through some COVID issues on Tuesday at Rutgers and played without the likes of Brandon Johns, Terrance Williams and Frankie Collins. But for this game, they would have less than seven players available, which is the least amount of players in the Big Ten a team can have available for a game.
