| 0:00.0 | Michigan had been in these situations before, an early big lead, double digits, and then it went away against Wake Forest, against Arkansas, against Oklahoma. |
| 0:11.2 | The Wolverines had an 18-point lead in the first half, and as we'll hear from Vlad Golden a little bit later on, he says, yeah, maybe the team didn't learn a whole lot from those first three experiences because |
| 0:21.6 | Michigan did allow UCLA to get back into this game and not just get back in it, but to lead |
| 0:26.8 | by four with about 14 minutes to play. From there, Michigan turned on the Jets. They ensured that not |
| 0:33.4 | only would they avoid a fourth loss with a double-digit lead, but they ensured that they |
| 0:38.2 | would go on to win by even more than they led in the first half. |
| 0:41.9 | 19-point victory on the road at Pauli Pavilion to become the first Big Ten team to four wins |
| 0:49.1 | in the league, to become still one of two teams to be unbeaten in Big Ten play and to really truly establish themselves as a team that not only can, but should contend in the Big Ten. |
| 1:03.6 | And what made this so fascinating was that Michigan did it in ways that you weren't necessarily expecting coming in. |

| 1:23.6 | This time it was Vlad Golden and you want to talk about a monster performance. |
| 1:28.1 | His previous career high was 26. |
| 1:30.3 | He dropped 36, 13 of 18 from the floor, had four dunks in the first 10 minutes of the game. |
| 1:36.7 | He established himself early and often. |
| 1:39.5 | That plus the three-point barrage from Trey Donaldson had never made more than four threes in a game, |
| 1:45.2 | and that four three-point performance came against USC three nights ago. |
| 1:50.1 | He goes six of ten, six of ten from three, four of those coming in the second half, |
| 1:56.3 | and several of them coming after an air ball champ where he started his really hot stretch with a |
