Brooklyn, New York – A dominant effort in the paint in the first half. A blistering shooting performance in the second half. A balanced scoring attack.
Add it all together and it proved to be a convincing winning formula for No. 20 Michigan, which rolled to a 91-60 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday in the Legends Classic at the Barclays Center.
Freshman wing Jett Howard led four players in double figures with 17 points in 19 minutes before fouling out for Michigan (3-0), which outscored Pittsburgh 38-18 in the paint and shot 72% from the field (18-for-25) in the second half.
