Moe Wagner and Charles Matthews each got their second field goals of the night, but the big story right now is that Loyola can't hit a shot. The Ramblers have missed seven straight field goals, and that's led to a 9-0 Michigan run that has the Wolverines on top, 12-4 with 12:38 remaining in the first half.
The Michigan defense is swarming the Loyola shooters, making things very difficult on their opponents, something they've done all season. I'm not sure the Ramblers have seen a defense quite like John Beilein's before.
Wolverines a bit sloppy early
Michigan made the most of an early offensive rebound when Charles Matthews knocked down a 3-pointer from the wing for the game's first bucket.
