Notes
• Michigan remains in the case for the 2025 Big Ten regular-season title hunt. The Wolverines (14-4) are a game behind conference-leading Michigan State (15-3).
• Michigan closes the final week of the regular season with back-to-back games against ranked foes. First, U-M hosts No. 13 Maryland (March 5) at Crisler before the finale at No. 8 Michigan State (March 9). U-M is 4-3 against top-25 teams.
• After a six-game winning streak, Michigan has lost two of its last four games. U-M has 15 games decided by four or fewer points, including 10 of the last 13. After losing four of its first six, U-M has nine straight wins by four or fewer (11-4).
• Michigan secured a spot and a first-round bye for the Big Ten Tournament. The Maize and Blue can secure a double-bye with one more conference victory. Michigan State has already earned one of the four double-byes. U-M has earned a tournament double-bye twice (2019, 2021).
• Dusty May's 14 Big Ten wins give him the most conference victories for a first-year U-M head coach. May bettered Steve Fisher's first season (12-6; 1989-90).
• All five U-M starters are averaging in double figures -- Vladislav Goldin (16.1), Danny Wolf (12.4), Tre Donaldson (11.9), Roddy Gayle Jr. (10.2) and Nimari Burnett (10.1)
• In his last five games, Goldin has four 20-plus-point games, three 10-plus-rebound games, and two double-doubles. Over the last two games, Goldin is 20-for-26 (76.9%) from the floor, scoring 46 points -- 24 against Rutgers and 22 against Illinois.
• Goldin is shooting 64.8 percent -- leading the Big Ten and ranking fifth nationally.
• Goldin's 160 free throw attempts are 58 more than any other Wolverine. Gayle is second with 102 attempts and Wolf is third with 101.
• Wolf (12.4 ppg and 9.7 rpg) is second in the Big Ten with 12 double-doubles (Maryland's Julian Reese, 13). Wolf has 15 of U-M's 21 10-plus rebound games.
• With 106 assists, Wolf (3.7 apg) surpassed the century mark for assists. He has 10 games with five-plus assists, four with seven-plus and a career-best nine vs. Arkansas (Dec. 10). Wolf trails Donaldson (113; 3.9 apg).
