After taking nearly three weeks off from basketball activities, the Michigan Wolverines made a statement against the Badgers — they are for real, and not even a pause in activities can stand in their way of achieving its goals.
The maize and blue are sitting at No. 3 in the country, and they are No. 1 in the Big Ten standings. The resume they have built speaks volumes about the team they have become.
