Michigan Basketball has elite stretches in blowout win over UCF

Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports

Michigan basketball struggled early against Central Florida, but the Wolverines looked elite as they turned a 12-point deficit into a 32-point win.

By all accounts, UCF was supposed to be one of Michigan basketball‘s more challenging non-conference games and after spotting the Knights a 12-point lead it sure looked like it would be.

But once Michigan basketball turned to the bench, it recovered from its slow start, that saw it unable to get stops or get anything to fall and simply dominated from that point on.

Central Florida ripped off 11 consecutive points and it felt like last Sunday against Oakland all over again.
