Michigan Basketball: 3 takeaways from crippling loss to Kentucky
By Nick Popio
3. Michigan’s football team makes the basketball struggles less painful
It’s great to be a Michigan football fan right now, but not can be said about the basketball program. Losing so much to the pros eventually takes it tole and that’s what is happening to Juwan Howard’s core right now.
Help is on the way with recruits like Papa Kante and George Washington, but they need them today, not tomorrow.
Juwan Howard and his staff have some searching to do as they look for answers on how to fix their problems. They are not an NCAA tournament team at the moment and are running out of chances to prove that they can be. They have to beat North Carolina in a couple of weeks for a signature or win do damage in the Big Ten.
Kentucky gets its best win of the season thus far after losses to Michigan State and Gonzaga.

Although still TBD whether this Michigan team will be more than a fringe NCAA tourney team. Best win for Wolverines is against Pittsburgh.
They’ll return to America to travel again, this time to Minnesota. They’re also on a losing streak so someone will begin the conference slate on the right note. They lost to the Golden Gophers at home in a surprise upset that was very costly early last season when they were also struggling.
