Thoughts on an 80-62 loss to the Wolverines:
One nine-game losing streak over. Another just beginning.
Yup, it’s now nine straight losses to the Wolverines after Indiana followed up Thursday’s emotional win against Purdue with a stinker today.
Simply put: Michigan came into Assembly Hall on a mission and Indiana aided and abetted. Indiana’s defense, such a strength for this team all season, was not in top form today. The 1.21 points per possession it surrendered to the Wolverines this afternoon was its worst of the season.
The Wolverines were crisp on offense, beating Indiana off the dribble, moving the ball with intent and getting contributions for a host of players.
