Michigan basketball lights up Toledo from deep in 90-80 win in NIT opener

Michigan basketball entered its matchup against Toledo in the National Invitational Tournament opener with a focus on the 3-point line.

The Rockets were the second-best 3-point shooting team in the nation (39.7%) and the Wolverines' ability to limit them from deep was key. But U-M flipped the script with one of its best shooting performances of the season.

Michigan opened the second half with three straight 3-pointers, part of a 13-2 run where all five starters scored, and rode the momentum to a 90-80 win in its NIT opener over Toledo on Tuesday.
