Michigan won at Mackey Arena to avenge one of last year’s most disappointing losses of the season. The Wolverines weathered an early Purdue flurry, then quieted the crowd with a 15-0 run to build a 20-point first-half lead.

Purdue played better in the second half, but was never able to cut Michigan’s lead beyond 8 points. The most impressive stat of the game for the Wolverines? Purdue — playing at one of the most imposing home courts in basketball — was never able to put together any run larger than 6-0.

Michigan made big play after big play to stay perfect on the road and remain in control of the Big Ten race. Here’s the full report card with the stats, film, and breakdown on the road win.
