Tuesday marked the third time in a row that Michigan basketball would have its biggest test of the season and the third time in a row that Michigan basketball passed that test with flying colors.
The Wolverines absolutely dominated Wisconsin on Tuesday night in Ann Arbor in a 77-54 win, but the game wasn’t even remotely that close. A 43-6 run from late in the first half to the middle of the second half helped the maize and blue take a 40 point lead before they took the foot off the gas, allowing the Badgers to get within 30.
Given that this was a top 10 matchup and one that, according to Vegas, was only expected to be a narrow victory at -3.5 points, it was shocking to see the Wolverines dominate in such a fashion. Naturally, myriad voices chimed in, from the media to former basketball and football players and more with Michigan basketball making Wisconsin look like an also-ran rather than one of the nation’s best teams.
Here are some of the best reactions to the dominant victory.
