Michigan holds off Indiana 69-46 for rare victory in Bloomington

The machines in Assembly Hall are self-aware.

The clocks stopped working seven seconds into Michigan’s Friday night road trip to Indiana. It’s as if those clocks knew to delay the inevitable.

The Wolverines jumped to a 20-2 start, eventually holding off the Hoosiers 69-46 — just the third victory in Bloomington for John Beilein since 2007-08.

Michigan’s No. 3 efficiency defense locked down Indiana to just 18 points in the first 20 minutes. This is the lowest allowed since ceding 17 against Villanova in the third game of the year.

Ignas Brazdeikis responded from a few off nights from the field, tallying 20 points on 8-for-12 shooting.
