Rutgers dropped a game at the sold out RAC to #7 Michigan by the score of 77-65. Four quick thoughts:
So Michigan is Really Good: The worry tonight, after the Wolverines dropped game to Iowa last Friday, was that Michigan would come out angry. They may have been peeved, but they also were scalding hot. They opened the game shooting 80% at one point and opened up a 17 point lead. And it wasn’t like Rutgers wasn’t playing hard, it just felt like they couldn’t keep up. The hot start was enough for Michigan to withstand Rutgers the rest of the way.
