Led by Danny Wolf and Vlad Goldin, Michigan men's basketball the most surprising, scariest team in the Big Ten Conference, says BTN analyst Trent Meacham

In men's college basketball this weekend, Michigan and Michigan State continued fast starts in the Big Ten as top teams survived tough road contests.

Michigan and Michigan State won’t play each other for more than a month, but with both teams 5-0 in the Big Ten and tied atop the league standings interest in the in-state programs is heating up. Michigan head coach Dusty May was asked about the rivalry on Monday.
