Michigan hosts Wisconsin on Sunday (2:00 p.m., CBS) in a battle of bubble hopefuls. The Wolverines and Badgers are among the teams hovering near the NCAA Tournament cut line with dreams of clawing their way into Dayton. The rematch comes less than two weeks after the first emotionally charged game in Madison and the stakes are even higher.
Wisconsin won the first meeting despite failing to make a basket for the final quarter of the contest. Michigan will be looking to flip that script against a Wisconsin team that hasn’t won back-to-back games in this calendar year.
Here’s what to watch for in the rematch.
