Michigan takes direct route in exhibition victory over Northwood

Ann Arbor — It’s hard to garner much from an exhibition against a Division II opponent.

But if there’s one thing that came out of Michigan’s lone tune-up, it’s that the Wolverines look like they’re going to have much more of an attacking-style offense this season.

Michigan scored its first 15 baskets inside the 3-point line — many coming on layups at the rim — against Northwood in a 90-58 exhibition win Friday at Crisler Center.

It was a different look than most Michigan teams under coach John Beilein, which have typically leaned on the deep ball and ranked among the top 3-point shooting groups in the nation year in and year out.
