Michigan basketball continues to roll through Big Ten, derailing Purdue, 70-53

Michigan basketball did not play a clean basketball game Friday night.

The Wolverines struggled to hold onto the ball, turning it over 14 times. They shot just 44.6% from the field.

But U-M's defense held Purdue to its lowest-scoring game of the season in a 70-53 victory on Friday night, and the Wolverines left Mackey Arena with sole possession of first place in the Big Ten.

Michigan jumped out to an early 10-point lead in the first half and led by double digits for much of the game.

Isaiah Livers led all scorers with 22 points and added 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
