Michigan 72, Wisconsin 68

After a string of terrible and humiliating defeats, Michigan Men's Basketball got back up off the mat today by defeating the #11 Wisconsin Badgers at Crisler Center. The Wolverines got more of an ensemble effort on offense after Dug McDaniel had an uncharacteristically quiet effort, while they benefitted from a cold shooting night by the Badgers on the defensive end. Michigan took a lead into halftime, stomached an early surge in the second half from Wisconsin, and then re-established a lead. A lead that this time, they'd put away to earn a 72-68 victory, a win to end a five game losing streak. Michigan shot the ball very well in the early going of the game, leading 19-15 at the under 12 media timeout. Wisconsin had already turned the ball over seven times by that point and Michigan's offense was flowing seamlessly. Being a home game, PG Dug McDaniel's services were available and early on, he was going pretty well. Dug started 5/7 from the floor and put in 11 early points to boost Michigan's offense, and they held a lead much of the first half. They were up 26-20 at the under 8 timeout, a lead that would soon stretch to nine after a Jaelin Llewellyn three, causing Wisconsin coach Greg Gard to call timeout. It was around this point that McDaniel appeared to suffer a minor injury, locking knees with a Wisconsin player, causing his offense to drop-off precipitously. From that point until the game's closing minutes, Dug was a nonfactor offensively, forcing Michigan to look elsewhere for offense. The Llewellyn three was the capper of a 10-1 Michigan run, but Wisconsin made a push to narrow the lead. It was all the way down to 34-33 when Will Tschetter drove the lane, was fouled but laid it in. Tschetter converted the and-one to put Michigan ahead 37-33. Both teams had a chance to make a bucket before the half, but a McDaniel shot was off the mark and Wisconsin's fade in the lane didn't go down either. The score stood at 37-33 at halftime, Michigan shooting 14/26 from the floor to Wisconsin's 12/26, Michigan hotter from the perimeter but Wisconsin getting higher quality looks inside. [Marc-Gregor Campredon The early second half seemed to be following the familiar script, the one where Michigan is among the NCAA's worst second half teams. Wisconsin came out on fire, continuing to get anything they want at the rim, which included an end-to-end layup with little contest that forced Juwan Howard to call timeout. Michigan still held a one point lead at that point, but their paint defense was on full display- at that juncture, 13 of Wisconsin's last 14 made field goals were layups(!!). A few moments later, the Badgers had the lead as McDaniel was caught sleeping, allowing an easy alley-oop to give Wisconsin a 43-42 lead. Michigan was simultaneously 1/7 from the floor to open the half and McDaniel went straight to the bench. Wisconsin would stretch their lead up to 48-44, the period of the game where the usual story of second half meltdowns appeared to be unfolding. But then the game turned. The biggest change was the Badger offense going away from what was working so well, easy points in the paint. Instead, they began to focus more on perimeter shooting and to their credit, they got some open looks from three. The problem was, their shooting abilities from three were colder than the waters of Lake Superior this time of year. Wisconsin bricked three after three and the consistent penetration they had been generating to reclaim the lead vanished. And in the process, so did their lead. Olivier Nkamhoua swished a fadeaway to put Michigan back up 49-48 and then Will Tschetter extended the lead with a three. Wisconsin's turnover bug from the opening minutes of the game was also starting to reappear, gifting Michigan an easy bucket to make the score 56-50. Tarris Reed Jr., who played one of his stronger games of the season, added points on a pretty little shake and dunk inside to make the score 58-52. Eventually the Michigan surge hit a fever pitch when Tschetter connected on a three to put Michigan up 63-54 with 5:45 left, now a 19-6 Michigan run. [Marc-Gregor Campredon] Closing the game out wasn't going to be easy, though. Wisconsin came right back and finally began to wake up from deep. Max Klesmit hit a three to make it 63-57 and then Chucky Hepburn hit a three on the next possession, the two triples sandwiched around a difficult Terrance Williams II jumper. 65-60. Wisconsin turned it over again and Williams went to the free throw line, stretching the lead to 67-60, but an AJ Storr layup cut it back to five, 67-62. Tarris Reed Jr. would be next to go to the line and the big man went 0/2, sending a bit of a sinking feeling through the crowd. Thankfully, Reed made up for it with a block on Tyler Wahl, though Llewellyn gave the basketball right back on Michigan's trip up the floor. The Badgers came down and Storr would lay one in to make the score 67-64 with just 2:08 left. Nkamhoua lost the ball as Michigan's offensive troubles continued and Wisconsin now had possession with a chance to tie. Chucky Hepburn drove the lane but Llewellyn blocked the layup attempt, rebounded down by Williams, and Howard called timeout. Dug McDaniel, who had been an afterthought in the second half, was given trust from his head coach during the timeout. They put the ball in Dug's hands and the guard rewarded the trust: his driving floater went down, Dug's first points of the second half and Michigan was ahead two possessions. Klesmit added two free throws after being fouled by Burnett to cut it back to 69-66 and McDaniel went back up the floor. This time his shot missed and Wisconsin had another chance to tie. Gard called timeout but whatever he drew up didn't materialize, the offense stagnating as the clock ticked down. Frantic late in the possession, Hepburn pulled up for a contested three over Nimari Burnett. The shot was off the mark, Michigan rebounded it down and McDaniel ended up at the line. Over the span of the final minute, Dug went 3/4 at the line and that was just enough to get it done. After Klesmit missed a three down 72-68, Wisconsin opted not to foul and the clock ticked away. [Marc-Gregor Campredon] Michigan and Wisconsin shot very similar clips from the floor, Michigan 45% and Wisconsin 46%. Wisconsin did it on three more attempts, though Michigan made two more threes. The bigger difference was from the line, 19/25 to Wisconsin's 13/19. Michigan's offense was remarkably balanced, Dug with 16 points, but seven players scored 5 points or more. Storr led Wisconsin with 20, followed by Hepburn's 17. Tray Jackson we should note, was relatively quiet with just two points before fouling out. Michigan's win over Wisconsin ends a five game losing streak, moving them to 3-9 in conference play. They are now tied with Ohio State for last in the conference, but you have to start somewhere. It is just their second win in the last 12 games dating back to mid-December as well. The team doesn't have too many more games left at home, just three of their final eight being at Crisler Center. Next up is one of the B1G's most intimidating venues, Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln against a frisky Nebraska squad, and Michigan will have to do it sans Dug McDaniel, who will be back serving his away games suspension. That game is on Saturday night and is scheduled for 6:30 PM on BTN. [Click the JUMP for the box score]

Michigan State 81, Michigan 62

In a rivalry that once featured future oodles of first round picks and viable NBA players, the first of two 2023-24 Michigan/Michigan State Men's Basketball matchups went down tonight without any intrigue or pizzaz. A firmly mediocre basketball team played a bad basketball team. The mediocre squad missed shots in the first half while the bad one knocked 'em down, before the better team eventually won out without much fanfare. Little in the way of awesome talent or skill was on display tonight, an unsatisfactory reminder of how far both programs have fallen from their 2012-14 era heydays. There's no question, though, that Michigan has fallen farther, and they were on the losing end of an 81-62 second half rout. Michigan headed into Breslin Center tonight to face MSU without PG Dug McDaniel, who missed his third of six away games he will be suspended for, ostensibly so he can sit at home and do homework due to academic issues. The heavily favored Spartans, who have had a choppy season of their own, played from behind most of the first half, as the hot-shooting Wolverines built up an early edge. They shouldered two quick fouls of Olivier Nkamhoua to lead 8-5 at the under 16 media timeout, with Jaelin Llewellyn, playing the PG spot in place of McDaniel, leading the way offensively. Llewellyn hit a three and made a jumper inside to build the lead up to 15-8, and then they got the most unlikely shot of the night, a Tarris Reed Jr. three at the end of the shot clock, which amazingly went down. The Wolverines shot the ball well in the early going, not just Llewellyn and that Reed three, but Tray Jackson got involved with a couple buckets off drives to the hoop. Michigan's offense was fighting it a bit with turnovers, but the shots they were putting up were generally going down, as Terrance Williams II and Olivier Nkamhoua both swished two-point jumpers. The lead was 35-28 after a Llewellyn three when MSU made a strong late-half charge, a Malik Hall lay-in off the window, followed by a Llewellyn miss at the other end leading to AJ Hoggard getting fouled. Hoggard strolled to the line for a one-and-one, missed the front end, snatched his own rebound, scored on a layup and was fouled, hitting the FT to complete the three point play. 35-33. [Marc-Gregor Campredon] That was the score at halftime, as Michigan closed the half with a miss from Williams, who was cold from deep again in this one, but a strong defensive sequence by Tray Jackson and Tarris Reed preserved the lead on the final possession. Jackson swatted a Hoggard three after dogged defense from Reed on Tyson Walker forced a kick out to Hoggard. Michigan led by two at the break but were doing it on 60.9% shooting from the floor, 5/9 from three. Getting that level of shooting success, yet only by leading by a lone bucket, didn't feel great considering the shooting clips screamed "unsustainable". As it turned out, it was unsustainable. Michigan's second half lead didn't last long, really nothing more than a blink of an eye. Michigan got the half's first points, a Nimari Burnett triple following a Mady Sissoko missed hook. That put Michigan ahead 38-33 and it was all downhill from there, with the Spartans ripping off an 11-1 run to seize control of the game, control they'd never relinquish. The biggest change in the second-half for MSU was a willingness to attack in transition, a defensive weakness for Michigan (well, honestly, everything is a defensive weakness these days) in recent games. The Spartans had few opportunities to run out on the fast break in the first half, but then started tearing Michigan apart on the break in the second, including an AJ Hoggard layup that helped get the run going. Tyson Walker's fast-break layup gave MSU their first lead of the half and then a corner three from Jaden Akins forced Juwan Howard to call timeout. Both the Walker layup and the Akins three came off Michigan turnovers, as the offense ground to a halt without the ringleader McDaniel to help facilitate it. The Wolverines were back on their heels but couldn't find their footing after the timeout. Burnett bricked a three and MSU kept it going, adding a hook shot from Malik Hall and another three from Akins, who was red-hot from deep all night. The lead was now 49-39 MSU and Sparty had made eight consecutive FG attempts at this point. After this point, Michigan began to find some footing on offense, Williams finally making a triple to snap the skid and cut the lead to seven, but the Michigan defense continued to hemorrhage points. The Maize & Blue were never able to consistently get stops as MSU lit them up for 48 points in the second half(!). Without stops, the small offensive gains they made were offset and eventually buried by the unstoppable Spartan offense. [Marc-Gregor Campredon] The score remained reasonable, 56-46 MSU, at the under 12 timeout, but before long the lead was up into the teens and high double digits. AJ Hoggard found Tyson Walker on the fast break, who made the layup and was fouled. Even the Michigan makes, like a Llewellyn three not long after, was quickly erased by an MSU corner three to restore a 15 point edge. Slowly but surely the lead was built up to an insurmountable margin and as the air of competitiveness slipped away, the Michigan defense got increasingly sloppy. Juwan Howard's attempts at employing a 2-3 zone bore no fruits and one clip that went viral showed Olivlier Nkamhoua make very little effort to close out on yet another Akins three, something that color broadcaster Robbie Hummel noticed (and criticized) live. The Michigan offense was also a problem, the hot shooting becoming colder than Antarctica, as Michigan shot 25% from the floor in the second half and they finished with more turnovers than field goals made in the second half(!!). They did score 12 at the free throw line, but on 22 attempts, a dismal 54.5%. Without Dug McDaniel's electric penetration ability, there was no go-to function for the offense. Williams was the most effective scorer, but he made three total field goals on six attempts. Every starter was at least a -16 in the second half and time ticked away on a comfortable MSU win, punctuated by a humiliating ending sequence when Michigan managed to have a ball intercepted on a 4v1 rush down the floor(!!!), which turned into an easy layup for AJ Hoggard, who received the pass from the thief Tre Holloman. Those were the game's final points, making the score 81-62, and the final horn sounded on yet another Michigan defeat. Llewellyn, who did most of his damage in the first half, finished the game as Michigan's leading scorer (18 points). Williams added 14, while no one else scored in double figures for Michigan. They shot 42.6% from the field for the game and 40% from three, which is perfectly fine, but 13 turnovers and only 53.8% from the line on reasonably high volume were problems. Without McDaniel, the offense doesn't have the guns to keep up with the opponents, who score at will against Michigan's abominable defense. To that end, MSU finished the game 55.7% from the floor, Akins leading the way with 23 on 7/10 from three(!), followed by Hoggard's 15, Akins and Hall with 12. [Marc-Gregor Campredon] Michigan allowed MSU to score at a 1.34 PPP clip, after allowing 1.27, 1.42, and 1.27 the last three games (numbers courtesy of Dylan Burkhardt). Dug McDaniel's suspension has clearly impacted Michigan's offense in road games, but its defense is abhorrent no matter if Dug is available, having collapsed into one of the very worst units in the country among power conference teams. Their defensive rating in KenPom is down to 187th nationally, a truly astonishing figure when you consider that last year's team, even with several clunky defensive pieces and a wing who wanted no part of that end of the floor, managed to still be top 50 defensively. Since defeating St. John's, Michigan has put together the 220th ranked defense in BartTorvik.com's metrics. This is the worst Michigan defense in decades. I pro

Purdue 99, Michigan 67

On the road against the #2 team in the country without their point guard, Michigan probably didn't have much of a chance. The game that unfolded was predictably lopsided, a Purdue romp by a final score of 99-67. The margin already exceeded the KenPom and Vegas spread by halftime and only got worse in the second half. By the time the final five minutes arrived, the crowd in Mackey Arena was more interested in whether a free throw contest could net them free chicken and whether the home team could hit 100 points than they were which team was going to win. That much was clear in the opening minutes. The last notable moment of the game was a Purdue player with nine points on the season pulling off a highlight reel dunk. It was really that bad for Michigan Men's Basketball tonight. The first half showcased just how much better Purdue was than the Michigan team they faced today. Superstar big Zach Edey scored just six points and Purdue missed multiple point-blank layups, yet the Boilers still hung 49 on Michigan and led by 24 at halftime because they rebounded their misses and were white hot from three. With Dug McDaniel left back in Ann Arbor due to his ongoing academic suspension, the Michigan team started a lineup with Jaelin Llewellyn starting at PG in his place, alongside Nimari Burnett, Terrance Williams II, Olivier Nkamhoua, and Tarris Reed Jr. It was not a roster ready to compete. Purdue came out shooting it well from distance, a trend that would continue for the entire game. They built an 11-4 lead by the first media timeout and an early bucket showed off the kind of night it was going to be from Michigan defensively. Michigan's rotations lost track of Braden Smith in the corner, who caught the pass from Ethan Morton and could either pull-up for a clean look at three or drive the hoop. Smith put the ball on the floor, drove to the rack, and laid it in virtually uncontested. That score put Purdue ahead 15-4 and foreshadowed a night with little defensive resistance from the Maize & Blue. [Campredon] If there was one bright spot for Michigan defensively in the first half, it was Tarris Reed Jr.'s showing against Zach Edey, managing to keep Edey quiet and force his post touches to begin farther out from the basket. Reed contested Edey well when the two were on the court together and held the star's scoring to a minimal. Unfortunately, as Reed was doing that Herculean work in the paint, Michigan was struggling to defend the long line. Purdue started 4/5 from three and then feasted when Michigan's offense turned the ball over with increasing frequency. The Michigan offense, lacking its primary scorer in McDaniel, was often stagnant and had no hope of keeping pace with the torrid Purdue attack. The offensive bright spot for Michigan in the first half was McDaniel's replacement, Jaelin Llewellyn. Purdue had things looking like a romp when they were up 30-13, but Llewellyn engineered his own 9-2 run with back-to-back triples followed by a layup. That kept Michigan hanging around in the distance, but Purdue buried the Wolverines with a spurt before halftime that more or less ended the game right there. After Jace Howard hit a pair of free throws to make it 34-23 Boilers, Purdue went on a 15-2 run over the half's final 3:21 to lead by 24 at the break. Purdue had their way offensively, throwing in threes from all over, including Fletcher Loyer's make at the horn, and tacked on two more points when Mason Gillis rebounded his own missed free throw. Michigan's offense sputtered in between, bricking shots from distance and having little in the way of creation. At halftime, Michigan trailed 49-25. The second half was no different in terms of trajectory. Michigan's only defensive positive in the first half, Reed's defense on Edey, was made minimal by a pair of quick fouls on the Michigan big. Reed picked up his fourth with 17:12 to go and would eventually foul out, limiting him to only ten minutes in the second half. With Tarris limited, Edey scored 10 points in the second half and reached a double-double. Michigan leaned heavily on the three in the second half, with 3PAs making up 48.6% of their total FG attempts in the second half, but made just 27.8% of them, an ice cold shooting night for the whole team. [Paul Sherman] If there was an offensive positive in the second half, it was Terrance Williams II's hustle, snagging five offensive boards and scoring eight points, a bit of hustle and energy you didn't expect from a player on a team that was already getting blown out. Of course, TWill hustling and competing wasn't anywhere near enough to salvage Michigan from a humiliating defeat. Purdue continued to have their way on offense, lighting Michigan up at a rate of 58.3% in the second half from three and grabbing eight more offensive rebounds. Michigan kept the deficit in the mid-20s for the first eight or so minutes of the second half, but by the halfway point, Purdue was leading by 29 and attempting difficult fast-break alley-oops. It was not a serious basketball game. Matt Painter and Juwan Howard both went to their benches in the final minutes of the second half and it was up to the walk-ons and deep cut scholarship players to try and finish Purdue's quest for 100. They came up a little short, but Carson Barrett was able to score his first points of the season on a three to push Purdue's total to 97 and Brian Waddell's dunk may well make it onto SportsCenter. The only notable for Michigan in the final stages of this embarrassing rout was George Washington III hitting a couple threes, his first points in over a month (GW3 finished with 10). The box score from tonight's game is bloody. Purdue shot 52% from the floor to Michigan's 34%. The Boilers were a sizzling 14/21 from three while Michigan finished 9/29. Purdue also scored 40 points in the paint to Michigan's 22. The home team had a rather ho-hum night from the reigning National Player of the Year (16 points on 6/13 from the floor) and shot only 65% from the free throw line, yet still put up 99. Thirteen different players scored for Purdue. They turned the ball over just seven times, zero in the first half(!!). Only three Wolverines scored in double figures, Llewellyn, Williams, and Washington, the latter of whom's points all were in garbage time. [Paul Sherman] The 32 point margin of defeat is the largest in Juwan Howard's tenure. That Michigan didn't even come close to covering the astonishingly wide 17.5 point Vegas line is the biggest indictment of the program's current state yet. They gave up 1.42 PPP to Purdue, their worst clip in over six seasons. Michigan's defense now ranks 152nd in efficiency per KenPom. Neither of Tommy Amaker's sub-.500 teams, nor John Beilein's first team, had a defense ranked that low. After starting the season 3-0, Michigan has lost 12 of their past 16 games and still has four more to go on the road without Dug McDaniel. There's little of interest to say about this game other than that Michigan was thoroughly outclassed by a team they didn't belong on the same court against, a sign of how far this program has fallen in the past three seasons under Juwan Howard. Where three years ago the Wolverines were handling the Boilers in West Lafayette, and even two years ago were fighting a tight battle in this very venue against an elite Purdue team, tonight Michigan was dispatched like a mid-major. After the game, former Michigan great Nik Stauskas unleashed a public tirade in the comments of the team's Instagram account about the team's lack of passion and pride. In fairness to Nik, this game was not competitive, even for one second and while getting blown out by a team as great as Purdue isn't unexpected, something about tonight felt different. Unlike most Howard era defeats, frustrating late game collapses and the like, tonight saw Michigan's head get bashed in with a garden hoe, laying it bare just how far away this program is from anything resembling respectability

That early season playing time when Rod Moore was hurt really paid off. We saw the growing pains but it all paid off. He had himself a game Monday night with 2 strong PDs and tough tackles after the first series.
