• Michigan has won five straight games as it heads into its early Big Ten home-and-away December games: at No. 15 Wisconsin (Dec. 3) in the Kohl Center before returning to Ann Arbor for a test with Iowa (Dec. 7) at Crisler Center.
• Winning four of the last six matchups, Michigan is 99-75 all-time against Wisconsin. The Wolverines have a 36-48 record in Madison. Michigan's last win in the Kohl Center was a 67-59 victory on Feb. 14, 2021 during the COVID-19-altered schedule.
• With three neutral-site games in the books, Michigan's game at Wisconsin will be its first "true" road game. Michigan is in the middle of a five-of-six road game stretch. In fact, the Wolverines are away from Ann Arbor for seven of their next 10 games.
• With the 78-53 victory over No. 22 Xavier, Michigan won the 2024 Fort Myers Tip-Off. The holiday tournament title was the first for Michigan in five years, following the 2019 Battle 4 Atlantis. Michigan defeated Virginia Tech, 75-63, in its opening Fort Myers Tip-Off. MVP Danny Wolf was joined by Roddy Gayle Jr. on the All-Tournament Team.
• Michigan's 78-53 win over No. 22 Xavier was the first over a ranked opponent for Dusty May as the Wolverines' head coach. Overall, he is 6-2 against ranked opponents.
• Wolf, who averages 10.9 points and a team-best 9.9 rebounds, has a team-high three double-doubles: Cleveland State (19 points, 13 rebounds), TCU (14 points, 14 rebounds), and No. 22 Xavier (20 points, 14 rebounds).
• Vladislav Goldin has two double-figure scoring games over his last three games. He recorded his first at Michigan with 12 points against Tarleton State before posting a season-best 18 in the win over No. 22 Xavier. Breaking it down, Goldin has scored 38 of his 64 total points during this three-game stretch.
• Speaking of the game with Xavier, Goldin attempted and made his first career three-pointer. He had not attempted a three-point field goal in 123 games prior to making his first against the Musketeers.
• Tre Donaldson leads Michigan with 28 assists (4.0 apg), and Gayle has 21 (3.0 apg). Right behind the duo is Wolf, who has 20 assists (2.9 apg).
