The Michigan Wolverines picked up a comfortable 87-54 victory over Wayne State in the first live-action game in front of fans. Despite 17 turnovers and a couple stretches where Wayne State had extended runs against the Wolverines, Michigan put together a 21-0 flurry towards the end of the first half to build a large margin and put the game away early.

It was the first time fans got to sneak a peak at true freshmen five-star players Caleb Houstan and Moussa Diabate in a Michigan uniform. Despite Houston starting and having a solid outing, Diabate's tantalizing talent stole the show. With a team-high 14 points, the towering freshman showed there's substance to the offseason chatter within the program ahead of this season.
