Michigan has one more chance to get right before Thanksgiving and a looming pair of top-15 games the following week. The Wolverines are 5-1 on the year, but searching for confidence and momentum after a disappointing week.
Enter: Jackson State (8:30 p.m, BTN). The worst team on Michigan’s 2022-23 schedule, the Tigers are 0-3 with losses to Abilene Christian, Tulsa and Little Rock — all on the road and all by single digits. KenPom has JSU pegged to finish fifth in the SWAC and ranked 307th nationally.
Former NBA All-Star Mo Williams is in his first year on the bench at Jackson State after two seasons at Alabama State. Williams is a Jackson, Mississippi native who plans to build a SWAC contender in his hometown.
