Michigan basketball is back in action tonight at Crisler Center, with a 6:30 p.m. ET tip-off on Big Ten Network. The Wolverines will take on Middle Tennessee State University, with former U-M legend Nik Stauskas on the broadcast as the color analyst.

Michigan football is on a four-game winning streak and remains No. 18 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

From The Wolverine’s Anthony Broome:
The Michigan Wolverines are the No. 18 team in the country in the latest College Football Playoff rankings released heading into Week 13. The spot is the same as last week after debuting in the first batch of rankings at No. 21 two weeks ago.

Michigan currently sits at 8-2 (6-1 Big Ten) on the season after a 24-22 last-second win over Northwestern on Saturday at Wrigley Field in the north side of Chicago. The group is riding a four-game win streak with victories over Washington, at Michigan State, Purdue and the Wildcats.

The Wolverines are one of six Big Ten teams listed in the third rankings, joined by Ohio State (No. 1), Indiana (No. 2), Oregon (No. 7), USC (No. 15) and Illinois (No. 21).

U-M has lost to two teams ranked in the top 25: Oklahoma (No. 8) and USC. It plays OSU at home to end the regular season.

Michigan is the eighth-highest ranked two-loss team, and there’s a three-loss program — Texas (No. 17) — ranked ahead, too. The two-loss teams higher than Michigan are No. 8 Oklahoma, No. 9 Notre Dame, No. 10 Alabama, No. 12 Utah, No. 13 Miami (FL), No. 14 Vanderbilt and No. 15 USC

Averaging 3.8 million viewers, Michigan and Northwestern was the fifth-most watched game of week 12 in college football.

Michigan women’s basketball beat Binghamton, 120-50, Tuesday night.

Quote Of The Day

“It’s really fun to be on this team. It’s really a brotherhood. I feel like you don’t get that at many other places. We hang out with each other outside this place, we’re always hanging around each other, always joking with each other. It’s a real brotherhood.”
— Michigan junior EDGE Cameron Brandt
