The Wolverines showcased an impressive offensive performance, shooting 54 percent from the field and an outstanding 44 percent from beyond the arc. Their two-point attempts were particularly effective, with a success rate of 63 percent. The team also excelled in ball distribution, tallying up 18 assists over the course of the game. On defense, they managed to block five shots and secured a total of 37 rebounds—27 defensive and seven offensive.


The Eagles struggled to find their rhythm throughout the match. They shot only 40 percent from field goal range and were especially challenged by three-pointers, making just two out of fifteen attempts for a lowly 13 percent conversion rate. Despite these challenges, they did manage to score more points in paint compared to their opponents—38 against Wolverine's 30—and ended up with a total rebound count of 30.


One area where both teams showed parity was turnovers; each side gave up possession on several occasions—the Wolverines eleven times and the Eagles five times—but it was ultimately Michigan's ability to capitalize on these opportunities that made a difference.


As for individual performances, no player fouled out from either team; however, one Eagle player did reach his limit on personal fouls. Both teams played aggressively but fairly without any flagrant fouls or ejections recorded during playtime.


Looking ahead for fans of The Michigan Wolverines: their next challenge will be against Florida Gators at Spectrum Center in Charlotte on December 20th at midnight EST. This upcoming game promises to be another exciting event in college basketball and can be watched nationally on ESPN channel two hundred six.
