BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- In a gripping battle, No. 24 Michigan edged out Indiana 70-67, thanks to standout performances from Danny Wolf, who recorded 20 points and nine rebounds, along with Tre Donaldson and Vladislav Goldin contributing 18 points each. The Wolverines maintained a solid grip on the game, culminating in their fourth consecutive victory. After falling behind in a challenging series against Indiana, Michigan's coach Dusty May, a former Hoosier student manager, celebrated a crucial win to break a four-game losing streak against their rivals. Despite a knee injury, Malik Reneau led the Hoosiers with 16 points, but Indiana's struggle continued as they faced a fifth consecutive defeat. Michigan displayed impressive resilience, managing to secure the win even after a late surge by Indiana brought the game to a tie. With a key moment occurring when Goldin executed a fast-break dunk to shift momentum, Michigan leveraged their superiority in scoring within the paint and forced turnovers. Looking forward, Michigan prepares to take on No. 7 Purdue, while Indiana faces the challenge of No. 9 Michigan State on Tuesday night.
