The Michigan men’s basketball team beat Purdue on Tuesday and by the end of the night took over first place in the Big Ten. The latest episode of the Wolverine Confidential podcast starts there. How did the Wolverines, who lost to Purdue by 27 points late last month, prevail in the rematch?

As the saying goes — it’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish — and Michigan basketball lived that mantra Tuesday. The Wolverines found themselves in an early hole, down by 11 in the first half.

Tuesday's results around the Big Ten made the conference regular-season race a lot more interesting. Michigan toppled first-place Purdue 75-73. The result pushed the Wolverines into the conference's top spot and created a seesaw effect between the two teams.
