Michigan basketball falls to North Carolina 80-76 in chippy Jumpman Invitational clash

Michigan basketball brought the energy to start its clash against North Carolina in the inaugural Jumpman Invitational — but perhaps a bit too much.

The Wolverines, looking to avoid a slow start, set the tone physically; crashing the glass, finishing layups in traffic and diving for loose balls.

And then, with about seven minutes to play in the first half, Michigan's Hunter Dickinson and Dug McDaniel got into a a shoving match with North Carolina's Caleb Love and Armando Bacot after a hard foul.

It seemed to wake the Tar Heels from their sloppy start.
