ANN ARBOR – It’s that time of the year, folks. Players are balancing finals week and lesser competition. Lack of sleep can be an issue.
The offense decided to nap over the first 18 minutes Saturday, scoring well under a point per possession en route to a 28-20 deficit to Western Michigan.
Three steals, a few breakaways and a Charles Matthews buzzer-beating layup seized the lead back by halftime.
From there, the Wolverines (11-0, 2-0) scuffled to a 70-62 victory Saturday over the Broncos (5-5) at Crisler Center.
“I saw (former captain) Zach Novak at the game today,” John Beilein said.
