next: Northwestern (at Evanston)

The Michigan Daily has a preview of tonight's game against Northwestern:

Michigan can't let Thursday's contest sneak up, either. The Wolverines could easily look past Northwestern, especially because they play Sunday at Indiana, a team just above Michigan in the Big Ten standings.

But with the postseason a possibility, the Wolverines are going to come out hungry - especially seniors Krista Clement and Janelle Cooper, who haven't played postseason basketball since high school.

"They are hunting for us," said Queen, reiterating Borseth's thoughts on Northwestern. "They know that we have trouble on road games. They know what to expect. And we know what to expect, too."

Over the final three weeks, the Wolverines will go through uncharted territory for Michigan women's basketball team.

And it all starts tonight at Northwestern.

Given Northwestern's struggles this season, this is a game Michigan should win. On the other hand, Michigan has struggled on the road and Northwestern gave them some difficulties when they played earlier this season.
