No. 2 Michigan survives vs. Binghamton despite lackluster play

Ann Arbor — If anyone is glad December is almost over, it’s probably Michigan.

The Wolverines’ month-long malaise continued Sunday with more lackluster play against more less-than-enticing competition.

And just like it did against some of its other foes this month, No. 2 Michigan needed a second-half spurt to distance itself from Binghamton for a 74-52 win in Sunday’s nonconference finale at Crisler Center.

Freshman forward Ignas Brazdeikis finished with 21 points and helped key the late 19-4 run for Michigan (13-0, 2-0 Big Ten), which will resume Big Ten play with home games against Penn State and Indiana on Thursday and Sunday, respectively, next week.
