Lincoln, Neb. — Next man up.
It’s a mantra Michigan coach Juwan Howard has preached all season long and it’s three words the shorthanded Wolverines had to put into effect on Tuesday night.
With senior guard Zavier Simpson back in Ann Arbor and junior forward Isaiah Livers sidelined, Michigan received contributions up and down the roster to pull out a much-needed 79-68 win over Nebraska at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
“It was a huge win for us,” Howard said. “We came here without two of our best players…It’s good to get a road win.
