Instant Reaction: Michigan's men's basketball collapses against the UCF Knights 85-71

The Michigan Wolverines ventured on the road for their last non-conference game of the year, after a tight first half Michigan used a 9-1 run to start the 2nd half, went up by 12 and forced UCF to call a TO. From that point EVERYTHING went right for the Knights. Spurned on by Green's and Mahan's combined 53 points, UCF went on a 40-19 run (including going 8-8 on 3s in the 2nd half) to completely flip the game around. Whatever Michigan did defensively was ineffective and the Knights rode that momentum (along with an outstanding home crowd atmosphere) to hand the Wolverines a terribly disappointing loss. In a pattern similar to the Minnesota game, the Wolverines could do nothing to stop hot shooters. Offensively, Michigan had 4 starters in double figures but Houstan went 0-7 with1 pt as his freshman season continues the pattern of feast or famine, and outside of Bufkin's 8 pts, the Michigan bench only had 2 other points.
