At the end of the regular season, it appears that the Michigan basketball team is on the outside looking in of the NCAA Tournament. At 20-11 and 10-8 in conference play, most experts predict that the Wolverines will need to win two games in this week’s Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis to secure a bid in the postseason.
That journey begins Thursday against Northwestern. The Wildcats (8-10, 20-11) have reached the 20-win mark in the regular season for the first time in the program’s 115-year history, and enter Thursday’s matchup having won three straight games.
