Four days after outlasting Indiana for its second conference road win of the season, Northwestern returned home for a Thursday night clash against Michigan. With the Wolverines earning the win in the teams’ last seven matchups, the hosts looked to finally secure a victory over a Michigan squad sitting at the bottom of the Big.
Ryan Langborg made five 3-pointers and scored 20 points, Boo Buie added 16 points to become Northwestern's all-time scoring leader, and the Wildcats cruised past Michigan 76-62 on Thursday night. Buie entered four points shy of matching John Shurna's (2008—2012) program-best 2,038 career points. Buie hit a deep 3-pointer to break the record midway through the first half.
