Take a deep breath. After a frantic start to the season with three matchups against top-20 teams according to Kenpom, the Michigan Wolverines sit at 8-0 as one of the hottest teams in the country. Saturday’s dismantling of Purdue looked very similar to wins over Villanova and North Carolina, with the Maize and Blue dominating on both ends of the floor.
The reward is a bit of a relaxed schedule, with six very winnable games before a matchup with Indiana in the beginning of January. Of course, any loss before then would put a damper on everything accomplished to date, but there is nothing but good things to say about the season thus far.
