Takeaways from Michigan’s loss over Rutgers

That was an ugly loss for the Michigan Wolverines.

Rutgers got a double-digit lead in the first half with some hot shooting and never really looked back, as they beat Michigan handily at home, 75-67.

Michigan fans have to hope this game is a wake up call for both teams. They were without some key bench pieces (Brandon Johns Jr., Terrance Williams, Frankie Collins and Zeb Jackson), but that’s not an excuse to lose by three scores on the road

Here are some takeaways for the Wolverines.

Michigan beat itself on both ends of the floor

This game felt a whole like the loss to Minnesota, as Michigan allowed way too many open threes while not being able to answer to scoring runs with offense of their own.
