WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The offensive fireworks were on full show at Mackey Arena Thursday night time. In the quit, Purdue lit up the scoreboard slightly more frequently than visiting Michigan because the Wolverines misplaced to the Boilermakers for the second time this season, 92-88.

Michigan senior Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahman scored a career-high 26 factors. U-M shot 60 percent from the sector and made 13 three-pointers, yet it wasn’t enough for the No. Three groups in the United States of America. A defense dealing with the Boilermakers probably wants to remove Isaac Haas or restrict Purdue’s doors from capturing. Michigan did neither. Haas scored 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting, and Purdue hit eleven-of-20 3s. The Boilermakers made 62 percent of their photographs. Vince Edwards scored 30 points on 9-of-11 capturing.

Michigan trailed 41-36 at the half, but Abdur-Rahman’s first 3-pointer of the second half pulled Michigan to inside one, 49-48. His 2nd, 1/3, and fourth triples gave Michigan leads, including 68-65 with 9:38 left. Purdue responded with a nine-0 run to take a 74-68 lead, driving its gain to 79-70 earlier than Michigan referred to a timeout with 5:19 left.

The Wolverines (17-6, 6-4) got to within three on any other Abdur-Rahman triple with 31 seconds left. However, Purdue made eleven-of-12 loose throws in the final eighty seconds to seal the victory.

Purdue (20-2, 9-zero) had received each of its final three video games with a minimum of 23 points and had won 19 straight at home with an average of 25.7 points. Only of these games were within unmarried digits; however, Michigan’s crimson-hot shooting made for a fun, competitive sport in front of a bought-out crowd that protected Spike Albrecht, who played for both Michigan and Purdue at some point in his college profession.

Moritz Wagner scored 15 factors for Michigan, hit a 3, drew a rate, and drove to the basket to cut the deficit to 79-75 with just below 4 minutes left. It became Matt Painter’s flip-to-call timeout, and Michigan’s next three possessions, which covered turnovers, didn’t generate anything.

Unlike in many current video games, Michigan’s offense became crisp initially, and the Wolverines led 12-eight at the first media timeout, with 13:50 left. Each group’s starting center picked up an early foul and changed into subbed out. Haas’ got here when he bit on a Charles Matthews pump fake and landed on Matthews, who may have a notion he’d been flattened using the Mackey Arena jumbotron.

When Haas came to the court, Michigan did not have a solution. In the first half, he made 6-of-7 photographs after backing down his defender near the basket and had 13 points. But first-half fouls, plus Painter’s use of lower backup middle Matt Harms, confined Haas to 9 first-half minutes. He played for 20 minutes.

Purdue’s Carsen Edwards was given warm from deep in Ann Arbor and hasn’t cooled off. He scored 11 first-half factors on three 3-recommendations.
