2024-25 Season

Game 19: Michigan at Purdue Recap

For the first time all year, Michigan didn’t have it. And there aren’t many worse places not to have it than Mackey Arena.

Purdue looked like a team that had just lost its first home game since 2023, and Michigan looked like a team playing its first road game against a Big Ten contender. The results weren’t pretty.

Tre Donaldson turned it over twice in the opening minute. Dusty May called a rare timeout before the first media timeout after Purdue took a 13-2 lead. The game never got any more competitive than that.

The Boilermakers led by 25 points at halftime, and Michigan never cut the deficit below 21 points in the second half. A Wolverine team that had lost four games by eight points total left the building with a humbling 27-point defeat.
