ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The No. 20 Michigan men’s basketball team plays Marquette at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Wednesday night, Nov. 11, with tipoff at 7 p.m. The game is Michigan’s Military Appreciation night, and FS1 has the national broadcast.
The Wolverines are 1-1 after an 85-77 setback against UConn on Nov. 6. Sophomore guard Trey McKenney posted a career-best 22 points in that game, all in the second half, and is averaging 19.5 per night. Newcomer J.P. Estrella is putting up 17 points and 10.5 rebounds through two games.
Marquette arrives 2-0 with wins over Mercyhurst and Detroit Mercy by a combined 96 points. Shaka Smart is in his sixth season coaching the Golden Eagles.
It will be the schools’ first meeting in almost a decade. Michigan won their last matchup, 79-61, in New York on Nov. 17, 2016, and leads the series 14-6. Marquette has not played in Ann Arbor since Dec. 22, 1990, a game the home team took 89-81, and its only road win here came in 1954.
The teams are beginning a home-and-home arrangement, with Michigan due in Milwaukee in the 2027-28 season. Michigan returns to Crisler on Sunday, Nov. 15, against William & Mary.
