Michigan basketball has two top-10 matchups on the schedule this week, which isn't something anyone expected at the start of the season.
Michigan-Michigan State was always going to be a showdown with Big Ten championship implications. However, nobody expected the Nebraska Cornhuskers to be 20-0. The 18-1 Wolverines are tied for second in the Big Ten with an 8-1 record. Nebraska is 20-0. It is also 9-0 in the Big Ten.
Nebraska is the only team in the Big Ten that has defeated Illinois or Michigan State. The Huskers have also been good on the road, winning games at Illinois, Northwestern, Minnesota, Ohio State, and Indiana.
