Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Michigan fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
In this edition of SB Nation Reacts, we’re talking about two Michigan programs that are surging — the men’s basketball team and the hockey team. Both teams could wind up being a No. 1-seed in postseason tournaments.
Michigan Basketball: Currently ranked No. 3 in the nation with
a 26-2 record (16-1 in the Big Ten) and has won at least a share of the Big Ten regular season title. The Wolverines have won 12 of their last 13, with their only stumble occurring last Saturday against Duke in a 68-63 loss. Michigan currently ranks No. 2 in ESPN’s BPI (Basketball Power Index) and No. 2 in the NCAA’s net rankings. Michigan has three remaining regular-season games (at No. 10 Illinois, at Iowa, vs. Michigan State).
Michigan Hockey: Currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, with rival Michigan State ranked at No. 1. The Wolverines are currently 25-6-1 on the season and 16-5-1 in Big Ten play. Michigan has two remaining regular-season games, both against Minnesota, a team they beat in the previous two contests this season.
