Michigan headed into Evanston this evening with a particularly shorthanded squad. Dug McDaniel was serving the final game of his six away game suspension, which has been a debilitating absence most of this season, but when you add in the wrist injury to Olivier Nkamhoua, Michigan was going to be in trouble. Oh and Will Tschetter was unavailable too. Michigan probably never had much of a chance, though they did put in a pretty good effort against an NCAA Tournament-bound Northwestern team given the circumstances. At 8-19 in year five of the Juwan Howard Era, this is what we've been reduced to discussing. The good effort Michigan gave was mostly related to the hot three-point shooting, which lasted most of the night. The Wolverines had no offensive creation in this game, pretty much all night, and relied on a mix of perimeter shooting and Tarris Reed Jr. post touches to suffice for offensive possessions. Michigan got out to a hot start, leading 16-5 after starting three of four from beyond the arc, feeding Reed buckets in between. Michigan led by near double digits for a lot of the first half, as Northwestern's offense lagged behind, though you always had the sense that the lead was unsustainable given how hot Michigan was from distance. Michigan led 26-17 with seven minutes to play in the first half when Northwestern made a push. It got started with a pair of free throws and a Matthew Nicholson dunk, but then came a hellfire of three pointers, three in just over a minute to erase a seven point Michigan lead and turn the score into a tie game. Nimari Burnett, who was Michigan's brightest star on his return to the hometown Chicago metropolitan area, drilled a triple to jut Michigan back ahead 33-30, but Nick Martinelli answered with a put-back layup. The score eventually sat at 34-34 with a minute to go in the half, a sequence that concluded with a Michigan turnover and another Northwestern three, off a clever in-bounds play that left Michigan completely fooled. The Ryan Langborn trey sent NU into the break up 37-34, their first lead of the game since it was 3-2. [Marc-Gregor Campredon] The flurry from Northwestern to close the first half put the game into a rather familiar pattern, a decent Michigan first half followed by a calamitous second half. This time it was even more predictable, as Michigan's hot first half shooting (6/8 from three!) screamed second half cool off. Michigan actually continued to shoot it at a good clip in the second half, but they got very few attempts off as Northwestern adjusted to shut off the catch-and-shoot three. The Wolverines were instead forced to pound it inside more, absent any real offensive creation from the guards. Tarris Reed Jr. took seven of Michigan's 20 second-half FGA, shooting an inefficient 3/7 at the rim. Michigan went through a nearly 10 minute stretch where Reed was the only Wolverine to score, which isn't a good sign when he wasn't scoring all that much. As for Northwestern, they came right out of halftime and continued the push they'd made late in the first. They charged out to lead 41-34, before Michigan made a little Burnett-fueled run to grab the edge back at 44-43. After that the 'Cats pushed straight ahead to grab full control of the game. NU poured in two threes in a row to go up 51-44 and the lead was up to double digits before long. It held around the 10 point mark before stretching up into the teens as the game plodded towards its conclusion. Ryan Langborg shot it well from three, dropping in a trio of triples in the second half, while the penetration of Boo Buie broke the Michigan D down to the tune of five assists. The 'Cats added five offensive rebounds and forced five Michigan turnovers, all part of the formula that evolved this into a rout. While time ticked down, we were treated to discussion of how Michigan's missed free throws translated into free chicken for the crowd in Welsh-Ryan Arena. That's where Michigan Men's Basketball is right now. They've lost nine of ten and fourteen of sixteen. They are 5-19 since beating St. John's to start the season 3-0. They are 3-13 in B1G play and have a two game cushion for last in the conference. Michigan has sunk all the way to 110th in KenPom. There's not much to say other than to go through the motions of this season, motions that will continue on Sunday when the #3 ranked Purdue Boilermakers come to Ann Arbor. That game is scheduled for 2:00 PM EST and will be broadcast on CBS. [Click the JUMP for the box score if you want]
