#16 MICHIGAN 77 PURDUE 76...the MAIZE & BLUE avoid blowing the Big 10 Lead as JOHNSON & JOHNSON for the BOILERMAKERS had a Night...CAMPUS HARDWOOD as UM stays ahead of SPARTY

It went back and forth a typical Big 10 Conference Game as you can throw out all the records as Student-Athletes are putting in work trying to get to some kind of post season. The Wolverines came in leading the Big 10 by one game and will leave West Lafayette, Indiana leading but not after a major scare in Extras!

Behind the Wolverines Starting Five they had just enough to put the Boilermakers in the "L" Column. After Purdue top Freshman Kendall Stephens missed the front end of a One and One the Wolverines called timeout. Out of the T.O. they run a play and Bloodline Glenn Robinson III goes game-winner as Pops Glenn Robinson Sr. was all that back at Purdue (under Big Ten Coaching legend Gene Keady) in the early 90s as G-Rob Sr. aka the Big Dogg hailed from rugged Gary, Indiana Roosevelt H.S.. G-Rob III led the Wolverines with 17 points and eight boards. Super-Soph Nik Stauskas added 15 points with Caris Levert 14 points and Big Jordan Morgan going double-double 13 points and ten Oranges.

The Boilermakers were coming right at UM as the Brother and Guard Duo of Johnson & Johnson went off. Both from Basketball Rich Map Town Terone had a game-high 24 points including 4 for 8 from deep. Ronnie Johnson added 21 points and waited on eight Boilermaker Tables as they combined for 45 of Purdue's 76. Fab-Freshman Kendall Stephens who could have put the game away missing that front end of a one and one had ten points. Known for his Marksmanship coming out of High School in St. Charles, Illinois East HS he shot just 2 of  9 from deep.  Fair enough that missed Free Throw was Purdue's first on the night (17-18).

With the Win the Wolverines move to 12-3 in the Big Ten and stay one game ahead of Rival Michigan State. The Boilermakers are playing to get into the March Madness having to win the Big 10 Tourney at 5-10 in league play and 15-10 overall.
