Next: Northwestern

Michigan opens up the Big 10 Tournament as the number 7 seed and they face 10th seeded Northwestern. On the one hand, they've lost to Northwestern twice already this season so the Wildcats are probably feeling confident. On the other hand it can be really tough to beat a team three times in one season, particularly if there is not a large disparity in talent.

Northwestern is led by Amy Jaeschke who averages 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. It will be interesting to see how Veronica Hicks plays - she often has good games against teams from her home state, Northwestern in particular.

If Michigan wins today, their task doesn't get any easier - they'll face 2nd seeded Michigan State.
