College basketball is a funny game.
A week ago Michigan lost by 14 points to Purdue. Today, the Wolverines turned around and beat the same team by 16 points.
The big difference was that the first game was played at Purdue and today the two teams met in Crisler Arena. It’s amazing how much home-court advantage means in college basketball.
The win leaves Michigan at 4-1 in the league, a game back of Wisconsin. Are the Wolverines legitimate contenders? We might find out Wednesday when they take on the Badgers.
Uh-oh, that game will be played in Madison.
