The Wolverines led throughout the first half and built a 33-

20 lead at the four-minute mark after back-to-back 3-pointers by Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman and Moritz Wagner.

Wagner finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Wolverines outscored Indiana 24-12 from beyond the 3-point arc.

Indiana missed all six of its 3-point attempts and committed 10 turnovers in the first half. Michigan went into halftime with a 35-25 lead.

The Hoosiers stayed within striking distance early in the second half. A corner 3-pointer from Morgan cut the deficit to 50-43 at the 10-minute mark. But he Wolverines answered ever challenge down the stretch, completed the regular-season sweep of the Hoosiers and improved their NCAA tournament resume.
