Ann Arbor — Michigan didn’t have to wait long to get another crack at Purdue.
In the second meeting between the teams in six days, the Wolverines made sure they didn’t miss their shot.
Behind big games from the big men, a barrage of 3-pointers in the second half and a sound defensive effort, Michigan picked up a much-needed marquee win and hammered No. 3 Purdue, 82-58, Thursday at Crisler Center.
“We talk about the sense of urgency. We’ve got to go now because we don't have time,” said fifth-year senior guard Eli Brooks, who finished with 18 points and went 4-for-4 from 3-point range.
