When: 7 p.m.
Where: Crisler Center.
TV: Fox Sports 1.

Game notes: One would think this is the beginning of the soft side of U-M schedule, with games against Northwestern and Minnesota at home this week. But the Wolverines need not take these games lightly - a "bad loss" could hamper their NCAA tournament chances. The Wildcats have four players averaging at least 11 points per game, led by Scottie Lindsey (14.0).
