Another Friday night, another exciting non-conference matchup for Michigan basketball! The Wolverines welcome their third severely overmatched opponent into Crisler Center of the young season, this time facing Houston Baptist, the 291st overall team per Kenpom. The schools have met twice prior, with big Michigan wins in 2013 and 2015.
For the maize and blue, this is the last game before the team heads to the Bahamas. The 2019 edition of the Battle 4 Atlantis features a strong group of schools, so this is the last tune-up game for a roster with a bunch of inexperienced players and a brand new head coach.
