There were a lot of questions about the Michigan basketball team as the Wolverines made their trip to the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis.
It was fair to ask if Michigan basketball had what it took to beat elite-level teams and despite a sloppy win over Iowa State, a top-50 team in the Kenpom rankings, the Wolverines proved Thursday they can play with just about anybody, beating North Carolina 73-64, in a game that wasn’t even that close.
You wondered how the team would respond to Juwan Howard and his system and so far, the results have been impressive.
