“But just really happy for our group. They stayed the course. There were some times throughout the game, I thought we generated great looks, we generated shots at the rim, and they weren’t dropping. And the easy thing to do is to drop your head and get in your own feelings, and I thought they stayed together, they stayed poised, they kept battling, they kept working.”
Continued the Michigan coach: “Our assistant coaches did an unbelievable job with the scout, with the curveballs we were able to throw at them. We used everything in the arsenal to try to slow down [Purdue point guard] Braden [Smith] and [forward] Trey [Kaufman-Renn] and those guys, and man it’s a good basketball team. We can’t have any more respect for a program than we do Purdue. Their players, everyone associated with them — they’ve built something that’s incredibly special. That’s kinda the gold standard. There are a couple of those in our league, but they’re the gold standard in our profession.
“Just proud and happy for our guys to get out of here with a win.”
Michigan is back in action Sunday afternoon at Ohio State, with tip off set for 1 p.m. ET.
