Michigan women’s basketball roundup: Grading last week, this week’s major game

We'll be ramping up our coverage of the Michigan women's basketball team and we apologize for slacking.

However, we'll be working on a weekly roundup of Michigan women's basketball either on Sunday or Monday moving forward.

Here's a look back at the past week for the Wolverines, as well as a quick recap of the 2023-24 season up to this point.

Grading Michigan women's basketball: Week of 12/10 - 12/16

So far this season, the Wolverines are off to a 9-2 start. Their lone defeats came against Ole Miss (60-49) in the Battle 4 Atlantis, as well as a 69-46 loss at Toledo.

That was back on Dec. 6. Michigan women's basketball bounced back last weekend with a win over Illinois on Sunday. The Wolverines took out their frustrations on the Fighting Illini with an 84-48 win. Jordan Hobbs was a beast for U-M with 22 points and four rebounds. She was 8-of-11 from the field, as well as 4-of-5 from 3-point range in the win. She was joined in double figures by Laila Phelia and Lauren Hansen. Both players scored 14. Hansen hit three triples; Phelia made two. Illinois came into the game 5-2.

On Saturday, Michigan women's basketball built a 15-point lead over Miami (OH) before cruising to a 75-49 win. Elissa Brett was a force in the win for the Wolverines with 27 points and seven rebounds on a 9-of-13 effort from the field. Hobbs pitched in with 12 points, while Phelia had nine on three 3-pointers.
