1. Men's Basketball vs Indiana
starts at 1:00
Yay, let's talk about basketball (the apathy is settling in). How bad is the Big Ten? If Michigan makes that basket at the buzzer then they would be sitting alone at second place in the Big Ten. It's a disappointing year but you're not going to do anything with Juwan. Keep Jett around one more year by raising his allowance to the largest allowance ever? Hunter Dickinson has gone from borderline All-American to not even All-Big Ten. Not getting much of anything out of Terrance Williams. Pick and roll defense needs a lot of improvement.

THE OVERVIEW
Okay: win this one and we will start glancing towards the bubble. Michigan has won three straight for the first time since it was cupcake season early in the year, and while none of the teams Michigan has recently defeated are, you know, good, Michigan's handled their business. Now it's Indiana, which is solidly in the tournament despite the same conference record as Michigan thanks to nonconference wins over Xavier and UNC plus recent wins over Purdue and Rutgers in conference.
IU lost fairly noncompetitive games to Arizona and Kansas and got off to a rough start in league play, going 1-4. They've won seven of eight since and are on a major heater despite having some injury issues. Michigan's at home and has been shooting well; this is another winnable quad 1 game. Running out of time to win them.
