Michigan's backcourt players, Nimari Burnett and Dug McDaniel, combined for 47 points, with McDaniel scoring 26 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds. This victory marked Michigan's 11th consecutive win at Madison Square Garden, prompting chants of 'FREE-JIM-HAR-BAUGH!' from the crowd.

Rick Pitino says @umichbball is “one of the best shooting teams in the country” and praised Dug McDaniel: “What we didn’t expect was to get dominated by their point guard the way he dominated us tonight. ... He’s a terrific player.” https://t.co/ojah2O4VXb
Rick Pitino blames adding so many transfers for St. John’s blowout loss to Michigan https://t.co/Hju9LtgRel
“They didn’t expect to get beat that easily.” “Am I disappointed? Yes, but it’s not gonna change the way we work. We’ll get back at it.” Michigan spoiled @RealPitino’s MSG return, exposing @StJohnsBBall in a statement game at MSG. My column: https://t.co/O6hqqafAYQ #sjubb https://t.co/N23qLp9DLT
"I think they were going 1-on-1 way too much...I think they were watching some NBA players in the Garden here and just trying to emulate them" Rick Pitino credits the lack of ball movement for the biggest reason why St. John's lost to Michigan 89-73 https://t.co/V5JpTteMej

Rick Pitino suffers his first loss as St. John's coach as Michigan wins 89-73 at Madison Square Garden in the Gavitt Tip-Off Games.
Pitino: “They were going 1-on-1 too much. It’s uncharacteristic of them. Early on, I think they were watching some NBA players at Madison Square Garden and were trying to emulate them. You’re gonna take your lumps here and there, and we gotta learn from it.” #sjubb
Rick Pitino: "I think some of our guys were exposed by rotations." #sjubb
Pitino: “(Michigan) used each other to get good shots, and we mostly played 1-on-1. If we play like we did against Stony Brook, we’ll do well…if we play like we did tonight, we’ll struggle. It was a good lesson, but they were brilliant at the way they ran their offense.” #sjubb
Tonight @umichbball sent a message that they r going to a lot better than many felt after losing Hunter Dickinson to Kansas . In the 2nd half they dominated @StJohnsBBall & won 89-73 spoiling the @TheGarden debut of @RealPitino ‘s team . Trust me Pitino will use the beating as… https://t.co/E4TIZBJVxs

Dug McDaniel show at MSG tonight. 26 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and the blowout win for Michigan over St. John's. Got anywhere he wanted all game long, hit shots from everywhere, made great decisions and hounded on and off the ball. https://t.co/oKdvQT2hY6
