After struggling the past few weeks, the Michigan Wolverines had a big opportunity to not only rebound but thrive, going on

After blowing a 16-point lead in their last outing against Ohio State, No. 11 Purdue (16-5, 8-2) came into their home building with bad intent, and the Wolverines were their victims. The Boilermakers jumped to a 13-2 lead to start the game and never looked back, delivering a 91-64 beatdown of No. 21 Michigan (14-5, 6-2) on Friday night.

The Boilermakers do not lead the Big Ten like they did when February started the past two years. But their biggest goal remains in reach.
