3 takeaways from Michigan basketball's breakaway win at Maryland

Nine points down with over 18 minutes to play, it took Michigan basketball about a minute and a half to close the deficit to one. Around five minutes later, they never trailed again and turned a nine-point disadvantage into an 18-point win. A 27-point differential. Here are three of the takeaways from Saturday's 101-83 win in Maryland.

Michigan doubled up Maryland in the final 16 minutes

Down 60-55 in the second half, Michigan went on to score 46 points, while Maryland tallied 23. The Wolverines immediately went on a 7-0 run that put them in front for a minute before the Terps retook the lead. After that, it was another 7-0 spurt that gave them the upper hand for good. 56-33 was the total output in the second 20 minutes of play. Maryland has lost by double digits in all five of their losses this season.

David Coit was held scoreless when he was guarded primarily by Yaxel Lendeborg

Believe it or not, the 31 points that Coit poured in were not a season high. 24 of them came from deep, and nine of Maryland's first 10 points came by the sharpshooting senior. However, he was stymied when Lendeborg was hounding him. He only accounted for nine points in the second and didn't score a basket in the final 10 minutes of regulation. Maryland only gathered 10 points in the closing nine minutes, while Michigan netted 22 more.

Juwan Howard wasn't in the same situation that Sherrone Moore got blindsided by this past week, but he couldn't keep his hands to himself either and it eventually cost him his job too.
