Welcome back to another edition of the wolverine.com podcast. Clayton Safie here with former Michigan basketball player, Ant Wright, our analyst here on On 3, high school basketball, college basketball. You can find him on Twitter at It's Ant Wright. He's all over the place doing his live streams as well for the michigan games some other

games uh where he's given his live reaction so definitely worth the follow there uh i'm sure aunt

and we were talking uh before we went live here that uh last night pretty fun one for you and uh you know

for all the people watching there michigan with a blowout win over number three, Purdue, 82 to 58.

Not many saw that one coming, especially on a quick turnaround after an ugly win over Penn State on Tuesday night, but the Wolverines get it done.

Let's talk about that game.

And we'll talk about Michigan's resume because it obviously was massive for that.

They jumped up 17 spots in the net.

They moved up 20 spots in Ken Palm.

But in terms of this game specifically, to me, the most surprising part was you held the number one offense in the country to 58 points to their lowest points per possession in 13 months.

You know, so we're talking about a stellar defensive performance from a team that hasn't been good on defense all season.

They've been actually really bad and they were regressing coming into this game.

It felt like to me, would you see, you know, starting on the defensive side of the ball from Michigan,

what they were able to do, because it was pretty impressive.

They mixed in the zone, which actually worked this time. The press worked as well. What did you see from the Wolverines on defense?

Well, they did a much better job by handling Ivy. I think Ivy still got kind of like what he gets to. Yeah, took him 12 shots to get 16, I think Ivy still got kind of like what he gets to.

Yeah, took him 12 shots to get 16, I think, is what it was.

But the five turnovers.

Yeah.

And when you are a Purdue team who struggles with creation, like they're very, very good, very good team.

But their only guy who could do any creating right now is J.

Nivey.
