It's hard to find much to complain about from the Michigan basketball team's win over Oakland.

Michigan basketball set a program record for points scored in the first half with 71 on Monday night. It was just that kind of night to open the 2025-26 season.

On the same night that Michigan basketball hung the Big Ten tournament championship banner from last season, the 2025-26 version of the Wolverines put on a show in a 121-78 win.
