Howard met with each member of the team Monday (March 7) during the group’s off day as they prepare for the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. Michigan will match up against Mike Woodson and his Indiana Hoosiers.
The men in maize are on the NCAA Tournament bubble after finishing the season with a 17-13 record and going 11-9 in the Big Ten.
The Wolverines went 3-2 in Howard’s absence, capping off the season with a big-time road win against hated rival Ohio State, which was ranked 23rd.
