What a second half onslaught by Michigan, and what a big win tonight. 84-67?
When I saw North Carolina go up by 10 early in the first half, I honestly thought that Michigan would struggle all night long. Not the case. The Wolverines brushed off that 10 point deficit with ease.
Even at the start of the second half Michigan was up by 4, I was expecting this game to go to the wire, and that did not happen. Michigan's shooting was ridiculous tonight but I was mostly surprised at how they were able to score with ease inside the paint.
Again, Michigan's defense came up big. North Carolina could not get their fast paced transition game going in the second half.
It's a good thing that Michigan plays great defense, because they struggle mightily at the free throw line. That could come back to haunt them in other games this year.
