Ann Arbor — The accomplishments continue to pile up for Michigan.
After recording a single-season program-record 33 victories and winning back-to-back Big Ten tournament titles for the first time last season, the Wolverines made history once again on Sunday night.
This time, No. 2 Michigan pounded Northwestern, 80-60, at Crisler Center to sweep the regular-season series and set the program record for best start at 17-0.
The Wolverines (6-0 Big Ten) surpassed the previous mark of 16-0 set by the 1985-86 and 2012-13 teams to take sole possession of the feat and move into a class of their own.
