Michigan (13-5 overall, 4-3 Big Ten) has won three straight, most recently Saturday’s 87-71 victory over Rutgers at Crisler Center. Michigan’s defense was locked in from the start. Rutgers guard Kiyomi McMiller entered as the Big Ten’s second-leading scorer at 20 points per game. She missed all eight of her shots against Michigan and didn’t score.

Michigan basketball didn’t exactly have a great week. Sure, it got a win on Sunday in overtime against Northwestern, but it also had an inexplicable loss early in the week at Minnesota — also in overtime.
