Halftime analysis: Michigan 37, Houston Baptist 28

ANN ARBOR — Michigan has rolled through a mostly lackluster first-half showing today, relying mostly on Caris LeVert.

The Huskies, a 2-5 team from the Southland Conference, cut the margin to 26-24 with five minutes remaining in the half before the Wolverines responded with an 11-0 run fueled by 3-pointers by Caris LeVert, Aubrey Dawkins and Zak Irvin.

Michigan is 14-30 from the field and 5-for-11 from beyond the arc. Robinson is 1-of-5 from deep.

U-M coach John Beilein inserted Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman into the starting lineup today in Derrick Walton Jr.
