Niyo: Howard's deep Wolverines have opponents surrounded

Ann Arbor — There is strength in numbers.

And for Juwan Howard’s Michigan basketball team, the math was easy enough Friday night.

Iowa’s Luka Garza was a one-man show, finishing with a career-high 44 points, a single-game record for an opponent at Crisler Center. But the Wolverines had six players score in double figures to win rather handily, 103-91, in their Big Ten opener — Michigan’s highest offensive output against a conference foe since 1998.
