Though Michigan is a solid team, they are not at full power without one of their leaders, Charles Matthews.

The Wolverines will get Matthews back on Friday night when they square off against Iowa at the Big Ten tournament at the United Center in Chicago.
According to the Big Ten Network's Mike Hall, John Beilein has indicated that Matthews will suit up tonight but whether or not he will get the start is still up in the air.
“John Beilein just told me that Charles Matthews practiced the last couple of days, he will play tonight. Whether or not he starts is a game time decision based off how he feels in warmups.”

UPDATE: Charles Matthews WILL get the start!
Charles Matthews officially listed as a starter for tonight's game. Wearing a brace on that right ankle but doesn't appear bothered by it in warmups.

Nation, with Matthews back in the lineup, are the Wolverines the favorite to win their third-straight Big Ten Tournament championship?
