2. Ohio State had no one to detain Area 50-1

Vlad Goldin and Danny Wolf shredded the Buckeyes defense in Value City Arena. They both recorded a double-double and were the main reason Michigan basketball owned the paint and the glass on Sunday. It was Goldin's first double-double first since the Oklahoma loss. For Wolf, it was just another day at the office. Both were above 50% from the floor.

As mentioned, Aaron Bradshaw went to the bench at the midway point in the second 20 minutes. The Buckeyes called on Sean Stewart and Wolf instantly took over by scoring six of eight. Goldin put the Wolverines up by two with less than a minute because of how he and Wolf kept the possession alive with offensive rebounds.

Michigan's offense had its highest output since the Washington victory last month. Just about everybody had a hand in the cookie jar in some capacity. Roddy Gayle's homecoming was bittersweet, despite the sarcastic warm welcome from the home crowd. Rubin Jones has put in two strong performances for the first time all season.
