Michigan turned a slow first half into a record-setting performance on Sunday afternoon. After leading by a pedestrian five points at the break, the Wolverines outscored the Tribe 75-36 in the second half to cruise to a 123-79 victory.
The 91-possession game was Michigan’s fastest of the KenPom era, and 123 points was its highest total since 1990. The Wolverines also had a program-record eight players in double figures and assisted on 31 of their 43 made baskets.
William & Mary’s helter-skelter style of play worked out perfectly for a Michigan team happy to play a get-right game before entering a stretch of four consecutive high-major games over the next two weeks.
