Ten months ago, Northwestern strangled Michigan in a 61-52 victory at Allstate Arena in Rosemont.
The Wolverines had a rough day from the field, connecting on only 12-of-22 shots, as well as just 5-of-22 treys. Outside of Moe Wagner, nobody made those one or two necessary shots.
Tuesday night, the Wildcats dug in defensively once again. Fortunately for John Beilein, he brandishes more weapons in his offensive arsenal this year. The extra firepower provided the handful of shots needed to cobble together a key 62-60 road triumph.
Jordan Poole four-point play
Chris Collins, for all of his histrionics, is a damn good defensive coach.
