Recap, takeaways from Michigan Basketball’s blowout win over Northwestern

The Michigan Wolverines rarely make it easy on themselves to start games, but the finishes have been more notable lately. And boy, did they ever finish on Wednesday night. Michigan (15-9, 6-7 B1G) trucked Northwestern (6-17, 1-12 B1G) by a score of 79-54 in Evanston for the team’s second-straight victory.

Eli Brooks led Michigan with 18 points (6-of-13 shooting), followed by Isaiah Livers with 17 points of his own, including a handful of monstrous dunks that you will be seeing on his highlight reel moving forward. Northwestern was led by 12 points from center Jared Jones.
