The Michigan basketball team has made a habit of playing better against Big Ten teams the second time around.

After the Wolverines dropped a 54-52-point decision to Illinois in Champaign last month, they will get another shot at the Illini Friday in a Big Ten tournament quarterfinal (approximately 2:30 p.m., ESPN) at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

On Tuesday, Wolverines coach John Beilein, junior Zack Novak and freshman Tim Hardaway, Jr., discussed Michigan's preparations:
