Takeaways from Michigan’s win over UNC Asheville in season opener

The Michigan Wolverines are 1-0 on the year, taking care of business against UNC Asheville, 99-74. 99 points is more points than the Wolverines had in any game last season.

Here are some takeaways from the win.

A solid showing from Nkamhoua

Nkamhoua looked like the best player on the floor tonight. After a relatively slow start, he settled in and dominated inside, with a few dunks in the second silencing any sort of UNC Asheville comeback attempt. He finished with a team-high 25 points in his Michigan debut and outplayed against his former Tennessee teammate Drew Pember, who led the struggled with foul trouble all night.
