With a 71-68 win over Iowa on Thursday night, Michigan basketball clinched a perfect 10-0 record in Big Ten road games.
Posting a perfect record on the road isn't easy to do. In fact, before the Wolverines did it, the last team to do it was 1975-76 Indiana, the team that went undefeated and won the national championship.
The Hoosiers posted an 18-0 record (9-0 in Big Ten road games). So Michigan matched going through a regular season in conference play without a road loss, but also added an extra win, making the Wolverines the first Big Ten team to ever go 10-0 on the road in a season.
Another historic achievement for Michigan basketball under Dusty May
Add it to the long list of achievements for May and Michigan basketball this season. The Wolverines have clinched the Big Ten championship. They also became the first team to ever win three straight games against AP Top 25 opponents by 30 points or more in succession.
Michigan has beaten seven ranked teams this season. It has also won a Big Ten title of some sort for the second year in a row.
The numbers are staggering when you think back to Michigan winning just eight games two years ago before May arrived.
Seemingly overnight, he had Michigan back on the map. The Wolverines won the Big Ten tournament last season, reached the Sweet 16, and spent most of the season ranked. Recruiting is off the charts, transfers want to play for May, and Michigan has a legit shot to win the national championship.
May also just done something that his mentor, Bob Knight, did. May was a student manager under Knight. That's how he got his foot in the door in college basketball.
On Thursday, May's team achieved something no other Big Ten team ever has. His next trick will be to help Michigan basketball do something it hasn't done in 37 years.
