Michigan opened its national championship defense and the Mike Boynton Jr. era with an 84–68 win over Oakland. Roddy Gayle Jr. and Trey McKenney III scored 17 points each, while transfer J.P. Estrella added 15 points and 12 rebounds; freshman Quinn Costello contributed 13. The Wolverines overcame poor three-point shooting, making 7 of 34 attempts, but Oakland’s 21 offensive rebounds and Michigan’s perimeter struggles remain concerns ahead of a Friday matchup with No. 4 UConn.
