Purdue saw a 16-point first half lead against Ohio State vanish in a loss. Friday against Michigan, the Boilers kept pouring it on.

The Wolverines have lost two of their past three games, including a 27-point shellacking suffered at the hands of the Purdue Boilermakers on Friday. As a result, Michigan (14-5 overall, 6-2 Big Ten) has fallen out of the latest Associated Press Top 25 rankings.

Almost everything that could go wrong did go wrong for Michigan basketball as the Wolverines trailed by 25 at halftime en route to a rout by Purdue.

Welcome back to the Big Ten Basketball Weekend Rundown. In this edition of the Weekend Rundown, we will be going over the results from Thursday to Sunday and examining where each team stands as January nears its end.

After struggling the past few weeks, the Michigan Wolverines had a big opportunity to not only rebound but thrive, going on the road to face No. 11 Purdue. However, Michigan basketball started out flat in West Lafayette, turning the ball over twice early and allowing the Boilermakers to jump out to a 6-0 lead.

While Purdue was carried by center Zach Edey last season, this year's team is far less imposing in the paint and ranks 134th in rebounding rate. Meanwhile, Michigan is 21st in rebounding rate and is anchored by a pair of seven-footers in Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf.

One of the greatest rivalries in college basketball gets renewed on Friday, when Indiana travels to play Purdue at Mackey Arena.
