Freshman Spike Albrecht scored 16 points and freshman Glenn Robinson III and junior Tim Hardaway Jr. each had 13 points. Senior Jordan Morgan had nine points and 12 rebounds and heralded freshman big man Mitch McGary had five points and nine rebounds.

Matt Craggs led Northern Michigan with 13 points and seven rebounds.

The Wolverines jumped out to a 17-0 lead to start the game, including 3-pointers by Albrecht, Hardaway Jr. and Robinson III. Northern Michigan cut the lead to 31-21 late in the first half, but was never able to get within single digits.
