Northwestern (17-10 overall, 5-9 Big Ten) travels to Ann Arbor on Wednesday to take on a Michigan (19-9, 9-6) team that is firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble.
The Wildcats haven't played since last Tuesday, when they lost 71-61 to Purdue in West Lafayette. It was a game that was never really close, as the Boilermakers scored the first eight points and led from the tip until the final buzzer. Tre Demps and Bryant McIntosh combined for 30 points—and Alex Olah added 12—but no one else really contributed much in the losing effort. Purdue's A.J. Hammons (18 points and 12 rebounds) led the way for the Boilermakers, who dominated Northwestern with their remarkable size.
