It was just Oakland. That's a common refrain you will hear from Michigan basketball fans on Tuesday, but that doesn't change the fact that the Wolverines looked exactly what you'd expect a national championship contender to look like.

The Wolverines set a program record with 69 points in the first half. The ball movement was incredible, which led to some great looks that the Wolverines converted to the tune of shooting 64 percent from the field and 54 percent from 3-point range. Oh, and the Wolverines shot 92 from the free-throw line to go along with just nine turnovers.
