For the second night in a row, Michigan basketball dominated a quality opponent like it was a low major, one of the teams you see near the bottom of the KenPom rankings.
Instead, after Michigan beat a top-50 team (San Diego State) on Monday, via KenPom, by 40 points, on Tuesday at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, the Wolverines similarly beat 21st-ranked Auburn, 102-72.
The Wolverines led by 28 points at half. Michigan led by over 30 at numerous points in the game against an Auburn team with a one-point loss to Houston as its only blemish prior to U-M.
