For the third time since the 2024-25 season opener, Michigan is facing a No. 1 team. U-M began last season against No. 1 South Carolina and also faced No. 1 UCLA during the conference season. Prior to this stretch, Michigan had only faced the top-ranked team once -- a loss to Iowa on Feb. 7, 1988. Michigan has never beaten a No. 1-ranked team but does have a pair of top-five wins, including one at the 2021 Basketball Hall of Fame Showcase against No. 5 Baylor.

This is the first contest for head coach Kim Barnes Arico against UConn since her St. John's team snapped the Huskies' 99-game home winning streak on Feb. 18, 2012. Michigan and UConn are meeting for the first time.

Syla Swords will face off against high school teammate Kayleigh Heckel for the third time during their collegiate careers after Heckel played at USC last year. The pair were teammates at Long Island Lutheran during their high school days en route to earning McDonald's All-America honors.

This is the third time that Michigan is playing in the Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase after playing Florida State in 2019 and Baylor in 2021. U-M is 1-1 in the event, earning the aforementioned win over Baylor in overtime (74-68) on Dec. 19, 2021. It marked the first top-five win for Michigan in program history.

Michigan vaulted up to No. 6 in this week's Associated Press poll, marking the second-highest ranking in program history. It's the highest ranking for Michigan since coming in at No. 6 on Feb. 21, 2022. With the men's team ranked No. 7, it is also the first time both teams are in the top 10 at the same time.

Michigan scored 120 points in its last game, the second-most points scored in program history and the most under KBA. The Wolverines have topped the century mark twice and are averaging 99.3 points per game on 55.8 percent shooting from the field. U-M is fifth nationally in scoring offense and third in field-goal percentage.
