It doesn’t have to be pretty. For the Michigan Wolverines, the second half definitely wasn’t. A flurry of offensive rebounds, questionable foul calls, and some uncharacteristic defensive lapses saw the Texas Southern Tigers pull within 12 points after Michigan held over a 20 point lead for most of the game. Michigan put together a few solid offensive possessions, including a big three-pointer from Franz Wagner to squarely take hold of the win at 82-66.
The game didn’t start that way, though. The Wolverines jumped to an early lead, with Eli Brooks starting hot and Dickinson imposing his will from the onset.
