Purdue pounced on the Wolverines from the jump and the outcome was never in doubt. Braden Smith over the past four games: 22.0 points, 8.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 steals. Trey Kaufman-Renn over the past four games: 21.

Through 23 games of the Dusty May era, Michigan basketball has looked somewhere between good and really good on 22 occasions. It's a fantastic batting percentage, but it still leaves one game the Wolverines really want to forget.
