3 takeaways from Michigan's embattled win over Washington in Pacific Northwest

1994 was the last time Michigan basketball traveled to Washington state for a midseason matchup. Ray Jackson and Jimmy King were the only two left from the Fab Five era. Michigan lost that game by four, and it took 32 years to win at that venue again. Here are some of the takeaways that were derived from a reinforcing road win.

The home crowd complained on every whistle

20 fouls were called on Washington, and the Husky officials in the stands didn't agree with any of them. They were booing seemingly whenever a call did not go in their favor. Near the end of the contest, the Michigan faithful in attendance started some chants, but were drowned out by the sold-out Huskie peanut gallery, who were not having any of it.

Michigan is 6-0 against the four Pac-12 schools since they have joined the Big Ten

With two more West Coast programs on the schedule to go, Michigan basketball has swept Washington and USC in back-to-back seasons. In fact, their last loss to one of those four came during their previous trip to Oregon. The Ducks outlasted Michigan in overtime by three, but will boast a losing record going into Saturday's mid-afternoon meet-up. The Ducks are hovering at the bottom of the Big Ten, which is unlike a Dana Altman-coached regime.

Michigan's bigs combined for 50 points and 25 rebounds collectively

Yaxel Lendeborg, Aday Mara, and Morez Johnson Jr. outscored Washington's two transfers from USC by 49 points. Desmond Claude and Wesley Yates were both averaging about 15 points per game, and only Yates managed to score their solo point between the two. The three Wolverines had more than every Washington player, except for JJ Mandaquit, who pumped in a career high 15. Lendeborg's injury hasn't hampered him too much, while Johnson grabbed a milestone 16 boards and Mara carved out a 91% shooting performance.
