  • Purdue fell to 9-7 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten Conference with an 84-78 double-overtime loss at Michigan … the loss was Purdue's second straight in Big Ten play (both on the road), marking its first two-game losing streak in Big Ten play since Feb. 2018.
  • Michigan has now won three games in a row against Purdue, the longest winning streak over the Boilermakers among all Big Ten teams … the next-longest streak is one game by Maryland, Illinois and Nebraska.
  • Purdue lost for the first time this year when scoring 70 or more points, now 5-1 … Michigan's 84 points were a season-high allowed.
  • Trevion Williams recorded career highs in points (36) and rebounds (20), becoming the first Purdue player since Bob Ford (36 points, 20 rebounds) on Feb. 16, 1971, vs. Minnesota to have a 35-20 game … his 35-20 game was the first in college basketball this season and he becomes the first player since 2010-11 to have a 35-20 game with no turnovers … Williams and South Carolina's Sindarius Thornwell (Feb. 7, 2017 vs. Alabama) are the only major-college players with at least 35 points, 20 rebounds and two assists in the same game since 2010-11 … the performance marked his fourth double-double in the last seven games.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Zavier Simpson scored 22 points, Jon Teske added 18 and Michigan's seniors made big shots late as the 19th-ranked Wolverines outlasted Purdue 84-78 in double overtime on Thursday night.
 
Freshman Franz Wagner had 15 points for Michigan (11-4, 2-2 Big Ten), which avoided a third straight Big Ten loss.
 
Purdue sophomore Trevion Williams had career highs with 36 points and 20 rebounds but missed a shot to win at the regulation buzzer.
 
In the first overtime, Eric Hunter Jr. missed a contested jump shot for Purdue (9-7, 2-3), and Simpson's desperation 3-pointer on the run also missed for Michigan at the buzzer.
 
Michigan left little to chance in the second overtime, scoring the first nine points of the session. Teske had a three-point play, followed by 3-pointers from Simpson and Wagner.
 
Williams, who went to Henry Ford Academy in nearby Detroit, rushed a shot at the end of regulation while Wagner contested.
 
It was Williams' sixth double-digit scoring output in the last seven games after he had just one in the first nine. His previous career highs were 18 points and 16 rebounds, both achieved last month at Nebraska.
 
Isaiah Thompson added 14 points and Eric Hunter Jr. scored 10 points for Purdue.
 
David DeJulius made three free throws in the final minute, finishing with 11 points for Michigan.
