Ask Nick! Michigan is No. 1, but how long will it last? Get your questions in now

ANN ARBOR -- Whether you're in John Beilein's camp and don't care, or on the opposite end of the spectrum, all eyes are now firmly planted on the Michigan basketball program.

The Wolverines are No. 1.

How long will that last?

No. 1 Michigan returns home Wednesday to take on Northwestern (6:30 p.m., BTN) before traveling to No. 3 Indiana on Saturday night (9 p.m., ESPN) for a game that not only has high national significance, but could also be for outright first place in the Big Ten race.

Sounds like a good jumping off point for this week's Michigan basketball mailbag.
