The Michigan Wolverines got off to a blazing start to the new season, entering the final tv timeout of the first half with a 21-point lead over MAC favorite Buffalo in front of an excited Crisler Center. Of course, things could not go that smoothly, and the Bulls made an impressive charge back, but ultimately Michigan earned its first win over the year with a solid 88-76 final score.
Buffalo is a strong mid-major with postseason aspirations, ranking No. 88 per Kenpom after the defeat. The same cannot be said for Prairie View A&M, who sits at No.
