Michigan basketball Control his own destiny with less than a month remaining in the regular season.
Les Wolverines (18-5, 10-2 Big Dix), the winners of four games in a row are now 5-1 in their last six championship games and find themselves in equality for second place in Big Ten. The team with which they are linked? Naturally, the rival of the state in the state of Michigan State, which is also classified within 20 and 10-2 of the first of the conference. The teams still have the two remaining head games; In Ann Arbor on February 21, then in East Lansing for the senior day of MSU on March 9.
In the meantime, UM has a pair of games this week, which both have a level of animus for them. First, the Top-10 and Purdue at the League come in town on Tuesday (7 p.m., Peacock) while the Wolverines seek to avenge their only loss of the year which flew over more than four points: 27-point hammering in West Lafayette a few weeks ago.
Then, Michigan went to Columbus to face its Ohio State rival on Sunday (1 p.m., CBS) in a match where Roddy Gayle will return to his old trampling field and will certainly not expect a particularly warm reception.
Each Monday, the Free Press will take a look at the previous Wolverines and evaluate how their curriculum vitae has changed and compares to the competition.
