Michigan dropped its fifth game of the year on Thursday night to UCF, 85-71.
Like most of the year, the Wolverines came out pretty strong in the first half. DeVante’ Jones came out playing hard, he ended the first half with seven points and seven rebounds. The Wolverines found themselves up four points entering halftime,
The second half started out strong for the maize and blue. Michigan had themselves a solid 12 point lead at one time.
But things ended swiftly for Michigan.
UCF went on an 18-2 run in a matter of four minutes and some change, and it was largely due to the fact that the Wolverines couldn’t play as a team. Michigan had some badly timed turnovers, the defense got soft, and the team just couldn’t hit shots when Darin Green Jr. and Brandon Mahan could for the Knights.
Here are our five takeaways from the Michigan loss to UCF.
