Michigan Basketball at Nebraska: Game Time, TV Schedule, Live Stream
By Matt Snyder
The Michigan basketball team travels to Nebraska on Saturday afternoon. Here’s how you can find the game on TV or watch online.
The Michigan Wolverines will try to win their second game in-a-row Saturday afternoon as they take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the road in Lincoln. The Michigan basketball team has not won consecutive games — or a single road game — since Caris LeVert went down with an injury in late December.
Head coach John Beilein called LeVert “doubtful” for today’s game at Nebraska, reiterating the team’s cautious approach with the star player.

"“It’s healing so well,” Beilein said. “So we’re just being conservative. If he says, ‘OK, I think I can try today,’ (we’ll say), ‘OK, why don’t we just wait one or two more days.’ That’s what we’re waiting for. We’re to that point — we’re finally pain-free. Now (the question is) is he pain-free when he’s running. Because we’ve got a whole lot more of the season left.”"
The Wolverines’ last game was a 74-69 home win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers (0-7 in the Big Ten). Derrick Walton and Zak Irvin paced Michigan with 22 points and 19 points respectively. Irvin had struggled from the three-point arc earlier in the season, but he was 3-5 from long range against Minnesota.
Nebraska’s last game out was a 72-71 win over the Michigan State Spartans at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. Senior forward Shavon Shields led the Huskers with a team-high 28 points
