Last Friday should be a wake-up call for the Michigan Wolverines after Emoni Bates and Eastern Michigan nearly pulled off the upset in Detroit. The Wolverines showed plenty of rust, especially on defense and at the line, but still pulled out the win to start the season 2-0 before the schedule gets tough.
The first two real challenges are on the slate this week as Michigan travels to Brooklyn for the Legends Classic. This is the team’s third appearance in the event, with a fourth-place finish in 2010 and a win over Oregon followed up by a championship game defeat against Villanova in 2014.
