It was a tale of two halves. But for the Michigan men’s basketball team, it ended on a high note, and that’s all that matters. In a game that featured a little bit of everything — fast play, turnovers, and even a Frankie Collins rim rocker — the group secured its second win of the season over TCU in fickle fashion.
The 76-64 contest featured the patented bumps from a transfer-heavy team in a new coaching era, but the Wolverines stood tall when it mattered most. With coach Dusty May guiding Michigan to a win after the rocky start, UM Hoops showcases the five key takeaways that defined the first high-major win of May’s tenure.
