Michigan basketball's defense was the biggest factor behind the team's recent turnaround.
It was also the biggest reason why the Wolverines couldn't defend their home court Thursday night.
Michigan lost to Wisconsin, 81-74, in a high-scoring game that saw the Badgers put up 43 points by halftime. The loss ended Michigan's five-game win streak.
Zavier Simpson scored a career-high 32 points for the Wolverines (18-10, 9-8 Big Ten) in the loss.
