Undermanned Wolverines Facing Uphill Climb To Make NCAAs

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — When the clock expired at the end of Michigan's overtime loss to Wisconsin over the weekend, a significant portion of the crowd at Crisler Center began applauding.
After everything the Wolverines have accomplished over the last couple seasons, moral victories are certainly not the goal in Ann Arbor. But with Caris LeVert now out for the season, Michigan fans may have little choice but to lower their expectations. For the defending Big Ten champions, just making the NCAA tournament is looking like quite a challenge.
The Wolverines (12-8, 5-3 Big Ten) host Nebraska (12-7, 4-3) on Tuesday night.
