The performance of both the men’s and women’s basketball teams of the Michigan Wolverines have been a national story throughout the first half of the season. Both teams were undefeated at the same time up until a week ago, but the signature moment for either team was put up on Thursday afternoon.
The Wolverine women lost their first game of the season at No. 17 Ohio State on Thursday by a score of 81-77, but it was a 50-point outing from junior forward Naz Hillmon that created waves and national headlines. That scoring total is the most that any player has put up in NCAA women’s basketball this season.
