Well, that win looked more like Michigan basketball and what we’re accustomed to seeing.
The Wolverines (3-0) defeated Ball State on Wednesday evening by the final score of 84-65. The maize and blue rebounded nicely after an overtime scare on Sunday evening against Oakland.
Michigan started off with a nice 34-14 lead with 5 minutes left in the first half, but turnovers — 9 of those to be exact — and a lack of shots going down let Ball State go on a 19-6 run to end the half.
Then the second half begun. The Wolverines saw their lead get up to 16 points with 13 minutes left in the game, and they never looked back. Michigan ended up having four players finish with double-digit scoring on Wednesday — Isaiah Livers lead the team with 21. Freshman Hunter Dickinson finished with a double-double in the victory as well, going for 12 points and 11 boards.
Let’s dive in and discuss a positive, a negative, and who our player of the game was in Wednesday’s blow-out win against Ball State.
