Ann Arbor — The disparity was noticeable from tip-off.
When 7-foot-1 center Jon Teske lined up at halfcourt before the start of Sunday’s non-conference finale, he was greeted by UMass Lowell’s tallest player: 6-7 forward Connor Withers.
Against an opponent that lacked any size, No. 11 Michigan took advantage of the significant height differential and overwhelmed UMass Lowell in an 86-60 victory at Crisler Center.
The strategy on offense was straightforward: Get the ball to the post and let the big men go to work.
