Michigan 72 Purdue 36

Wow. Michigan must really like being at home. After struggling on the road, they picked up a huge win tonight. It was pretty much a total team effort: good defense, rebounding, good shooting, turnover margin all contributed. Purdue shot very poorly - how much of that was Michigan's defense and how much of it was Purdue is tough to say. I thought Michigan stood a reasonably good chance of winning this game, but I didn't expect it to be by this big of a margin.

This not only helps in the Big 10 standings, but it assures Michigan of finishing at least .500 for the first time in several seasons. (They are currently 15-10 with 3 games left, plus the Big 10 tourney and a possible post season game.)
