On Monday night, Juwan Howard, the coach of Michigan men’s basketball team, humbly joked during his weekly radio show at the Pretzel Bell, thanking the audience for not throwing any parts of their dinner at him. Howard expressed his love for Michigan, acknowledging that he has dedicated his heart to both the school and the program because of what Michigan has done for him. The next day, in preparation for a home game against No.11 Wisconsin, Howard addressed the media. Though the Badgers have lost their last two games, they have an impressive resume so far this season and are in a strong position for a top-three finish in the Big Ten conference.
Michigan is in urgent need of a win, and a confronting task awaits them with the upcoming game against Wisconsin. In the season so far, Michigan has suffered ten losses in eleven games and is at the bottom of the Big Ten conference, even losing a home game against Rutgers. Despite having competitive first halves as they have led in six of the ten defeats, the Wolverines have consistently failed in the final 20 minutes of the game.
During his press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Coach Juwan Howard shared his thoughts on his team’s situation and the Wisconsin game.
The Michigan versus Wisconsin basketball game is set to begin at 7:01 pm on Wednesday, February 7. The match will be broadcasted live on the Big Ten Network, and Kevin Kugler, Robbie Hummel, and Andy Katz will form the broadcast team.
