Ann Arbor — If any team is glad December is almost over, it’s probably Michigan.
The Wolverines’ month-long malaise continued Sunday with more lackluster play against more less-than-enticing competition.
And just like it did against some of its other foes this month, No. 2 Michigan needed a second-half spurt to distance itself from Binghamton and close out the nonconference schedule with a 74-52 win at Crisler Center.
Freshman forward Ignas Brazdeikis finished with 21 points, sophomore forward Isaiah Livers added 17 points and both helped key a late 19-4 run for Michigan (13-0, 2-0 Big Ten), which outscored Binghamton 28-9 over the final 10:56.
