    ANN ARBOR, Mich. — No. 1 Purdue basketball improved to 20-1 and 9-1 in Big Ten play on Thursday night with a 75-70 victory over Michigan at the Crisler Center. With the win, the team remained unbeaten in road games this season. 

    Junior center Zach Edey scored a team-high 19 points on 9-of-16 shooting in a battle with Hunter Dickinson, who poses a threat to score from anywhere on the floor for the Wolverines. 

    Dickinson led all scorers with 21 points, including three 3-pointers, but the Boilermakers were lifted by a combined 23 points from their bench.

    Redshirt freshman forward Trey Kaufman-Renn posted eight points and made all four of his shots from the floor in just nine minutes. Senior guard David Jenkins Jr. also had eight points, going 2-for-2 from the 3-point line. 

    Purdue freshmen Fletcher Loyer and Braden Smith each scored in double figures to bolster the team's scoring efforts, finishing with 17 and 10 points, respectively. 

    “We’re so close as a team off the court, and it translates on the court,” Jenkins said. “We stay composed and it’s weird because we have a bunch of young dudes. It’s amazing the see how composed they can be. They never played college basketball before this year. I know a lot of guys that played a long time and can’t handle situations like that.”
