Worst nightmare: Michigan Sherrone Moore on the verge of been sack after dropping down to the bottom table….
The Michigan Wolverines’ season is getting worse by the day, and this week doesn’t seem like it will get any better.
After losing the game against Michigan State on Saturday at home, the Wolverines have now dropped three straight. Michigan lost 73-63 despite leading by as many as six points in the second half and failing to score in the final seven minutes.
The Wolverines are currently in last place in the standings with an overall record of 8-18 and a meagre 3-12 in the Big Ten.
Sadly, things don’t get much easier this week as the Wolverines play their one and only game against the Wildcats of the season on Thursday at Northwestern. On Sunday, they will host Purdue, ranked second. They were completely destroyed, 99-67, the last time they faced the Boilermakers.
With five games remaining in the regular season, the Wolverines will almost certainly start as the underdog.
Rest of the Big Ten
The Big Ten week starts on Tuesday with Iowa heading to Michigan State, as both teams look to make a case for making the tournament. In the nightcap, Maryland will be looking to do much of the same as it takes on Wisconsin.
Wednesday gives us another two games, as Illinois looks to pick up an important road win at Penn State, while Nebraska needs a road win at Indiana in a game it needs to win.
Thursday has three games on the schedule. The Michigan and Northwestern game will be the late game and will be on FS1, immediately after Rutgers vs. Purdue in West Lafayette. The third game is Ohio State at Minnesota.
There are no games on Friday, but the action picks up on Saturday when Penn State hosts Indiana at noon. After that, Iowa heads to Illinois in search of a resume-building win.
Sunday is a full day, with four games on the docket. Maryland plays at Rutgers, Purdue and Michigan follows that game, and Ohio State plays at Michigan State in the third game of the day. Minnesota hits the road to Nebraska in the fourth and final game to wrap up the week.
