Michigan basketball found itself in a physical, fast-paced battle in the semifinals of the Roman Main Event against UNLV late Friday night in Las Vegas.
But the Wolverines proved to be the tougher, faster team and successfully shook off their first loss of the season, at home Tuesday against Seton Hall.
No. 6 U-M beat UNLV, 74-61, to improve to 3-1 on the season. The Rebels remained within striking distance throughout the evening, but the Wolverines pulled away late, winning the rebounding matchup, 33-24, and shooting 51% from the field.
