Former Michigan guard and Academic All-Big Ten regular Zack Novak will be in the Big Ten Network studio Wednesday night for the Wolverines' game at Minnesota (9 p.m. ET, BTN/BTN2Go).
Novak, Michigan's all-time leader in career minutes (4,357) and just the second Wolverine to serve as captain for three seasons, gradated in 2012 and spent the 2012-13 season with Landstede Basketbal in Zwolle, Netherlands.
That proved to be Novak's one and only pro season, as the Ross School of Business graduate opted to put his degree to work. He has spent the past year as an operations associate at Uptake in Chicago.
What can Michigan fans expect from Novak on Wednesday night? He'll conduct a Facebook Live video interview before the game and take over @MichiganOnBTN during the game.
