Michigan basketball too giving on Thanksgiving Eve, but holds off Tarleton State, 65-54

Special to the Detroit Free Press

Michigan basketball returned to Ann Arbor, looking to right the ship against Tarleton State, playing only its second season in Division I.

Despite forcing a barrage of turnovers and clawing back from a 16-point deficit to create a nail biter down the stretch, the Texans were unable to derail the Wolverines’ lukewarm season any further.

Led by 15 points from Eli Brooks, Michigan (4-2) pulled away late for a 65-54 win on Wednesday at Crisler Center.
