The big question entering Thursday evening was how Michigan was going to respond after getting annihilated Tuesday against Illinois? I would say pretty good — the Wolverines destroyed Michigan State in the first of two consecutive games, 69-50.
With the victory against the Spartans, the maize and blue won the Big Ten regular season championship. This is their 15th Big Ten championship and their first since 2014. It should be noted that this team entered the season unranked and not many people thought this team could do much this season — boy, were they wrong.
The Wolverines did everything right in the game against MSU. They were efficient on the offensive end, played tight defense, and played with tremendous energy all game. They never let the excessive fouls, or turnovers, affect their emotions. They were the hungrier team in the ball game and it showed.
We’re now going to dive more into the game and talk about the good, the bad, and the MVP from the contest.
