What you need to know about Michigan

The contest between Michigan and the Michigan State Spartans this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Michigan falling 83-67 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Center Hunter Dickinson put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 25 points in addition to six boards.

Dickinson was named to both the Wooden Award Preseason and the Midseason watch lists. He's been one of the best players in the Big Ten all season and ranks seventh in the conference in both points (17) and rebounds (8.2). But as a team, Michigan could use some help on the defensive end of the court as the Wolverines rank last in the Big Ten in steals per game and second-to-last in blocks per game.

What you need to know about Nebraska

Meanwhile, Nebraska was close but no cigar this past Saturday as it fell 63-61 to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. It was the eighth straight loss by the Cornhuskers who dropped to 0-10 in conference play. The losing side was boosted by guard Bryce McGowens, who had 29 points along with seven rebounds.

Nebraska is middle-of-the-pack offensively, but is at the bottom of the rankings defensively. The team allows 78 points per game which ranks 341st out of 358 teams in the country. A big reason for the Cornhuskers struggles is that they constantly lose the rebounding battle and give up the second-most rebounds per game (42.6) in the nation.
