The Michigan Wolverines continued their impressive start to the Big Ten season with a decisive 94-75 victory over the UCLA Bruins. Vlad Goldin put on a show with a career-high 36 points, leading the Wolverines to a fourth consecutive win.
Michigan men's basketball had a productive trip to the West Coast as the new year got underway, sweeping new Big Ten Conference additions USC and UCLA to improve to 4-0 in league play. Late Tuesday night, the No. 24 Wolverines built an 18-point first half lead before the No. 22 Bruins came soaring back with an extended 28-6 run to take the lead themselves, 55-51, with just over 14 minutes left in the game.
However, Michigan responded, outscoring the Bruins 39-24 the rest of the way for a 94-75 victory. Michigan's 94 points were the most points allowed by UCLA all season by far, with four Wolverines reaching double figures. Here are five takeaways from U-M's fourth consecutive victory...Michigan big man Vlad Goldin easily had his best game in a Maize and Blue uniform, and perhaps the best of his collegiate career against the Bruins. The 7-foot center finished with a career-high 36 points on 13-of-18 shooting from the floor and 9-for-11 from the free throw line. The Wolverines' center added seven rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot in a spectacular performance. UCLA had no answer for Goldin as he scored 21 points in the first half for Michigan, and while the 7-footer was slowed somewhat in the second half by foul trouble and some adjustments from the Bruins, Goldin helped the Wolverines close out this road victory in L.A. After a slow start to the season, Goldin has really come into his own over the past three or so week, and has become a dominant force in the Wolverines' frontcourt.It was a career day for point guard Tre Donaldson as well, who played an instrumental role in Michigan's second-half comeback in L.A. With the Wolverines' trailing by four, Donaldson knocked down a 3-point shot, found forward Will Tschetter for another triple, and hit another 3 himself on three consecutive trips to pull Michigan back eve
