Indiana basketball (17-7, 8-5) battles the Michigan Wolverines (14-10, 8-5) on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. Here's how to watch, with game time and TV information, three keys to the game, the latest on the point spread, the coaching matchup, series history, stats, rankings and more.

Indiana is one of the hottest teams in college basketball, with wins in seven of its last eight games. The Hoosiers took down No. 1 Purdue and No. 24 Rutgers in a four-day span, and they hit the road to face Michigan on Saturday, another opponent near the top of the Big Ten.

Below Purdue at 11-2 in the conference, Indiana, Rutgers and Michigan each hold 8-5 conference records, followed by three teams at 7-5. While the Hoosiers are playing some of their best basketball over the last month, their leader Trayce Jackson-Davis knows they can't stop now.

"We've just got to keep moving forward and take it one game at a time," Jackson-Davis said.
