The Maize and Blue now just have one game left — at MSU on Saturday — before the regular-season draws to a close.

More Player/Team Stats:
• Sophomore forward Isaiah Livers' 43.8 three-point percentage is the second best mark in the Big Ten, trailing only Wisconsin redshirt junior guard Brevin Pritzl's 45.5.
• Yesterday's win at Maryland was the Wolverines' 15th conference victory of the year, tying their most ever. Granted, the Big Ten is playing a 20-game conference slate for the first time, but the feat is still impressive nonetheless. Michigan will have a chance to set a new school record on Saturday when it closes out the regular-season at MSU.
• Head coach John Beilein began his U-M tenure with a 1-3 record against Maryland (through the 2016-17 season), but has since won four in a row against the Terrapins.
• Junior guard Zavier Simpson is second in the conference in assists per game (6.3) and is tied for fourth in steals (1.4).
