There was no Thanksgiving hangover for Michigan. The Wolverines jumped on Chattanooga early, beating the visiting Mocs 83-55 to improve to 6-0.
Michigan has not trailed in its past three games.
The fans at Crisler Center for the 4:00 tip the day after Thanksgiving could be excused for letting their minds drift to Michigan's football game at Ohio State on Saturday. That one will be for a spot in the Big Ten Championship.
The basketball game gave them no reason to sweat. No. 9 Michigan led 21-6 a little more than seven minutes in. The margin dipped to 10 a minute later but steadily grew from there.
