The 1-0 Michigan Wolverines went to Little Caesars Arena in Detroit to take on Eastern Michigan and Emoni Bates.
The Wolverines defeated Eastern Michigan 88-83 in a very entertaining game that went back and forth during all 40-minutes of play.
The Wolverines leaned on their big man Hunter Dickinson who scored 31 points and was able to do whatever he wanted in the paint. But Michigan struggled on the defensive end of the court and the Wolverines’ free throw shooting hindered them on Friday.
But the maize and blue were able to get some crucial stops at the end of the game and were able to hit a few free throws to seal the deal. Michigan now moves to 2-0 on the season and its next game will come next Wednesday against Pittsburgh.
Here are our five takeaways from the win.
