Michigan 100, Slippery Rock 62
For about 10 minutes, Slippery Rock looked like a team ready to provide a challenge for No. 5 ranked Michigan. The Rock played physical basketball, didn’t look overmatched and hit some early shots to hang around. Eventually Michigan’s talent and depth was just too much for its Division II foe. The Wolverines stretched their lead as high as 42 points before reaching the century mark for the first time since 2007.
12 different Wolverines scored and three reached double figures in the dominating victory but Tim Hardaway Jr. was clearly Michigan’s star of the night. The 6-foot-6 junior scored 25 points on 8-of-10 (5-5 3pt) shooting and added a career high 10 rebounds and three assists for good measure. Hardaway looked focused and confident from the outset and was nearly flawless in his junior year debut.

1. Tim Hardaway Jr. starts the game strong
Michigan looked a bit lifeless to begin Friday’s game. Burke and Robinson both missed early jumpers and Slippery Rock was aggressive and built early confidence. Hardaway was the exception to the slow Michigan start. He opened the game with a great pass to Jordan Morgan for a smooth finish and then began looking for his own offense. Hardaway...
