Tonight's announced attendance was 8,167.

Gavin Groninger recorded his 100th career assist early in the first half against Bowling Green.

He finished with a game- and career-high 26 points and added four assists and two steals. His four triples are a career high and he was also perfect from the charity stripe, sinking all four of his free throw attempts.

Michigan connected on 31 of its 62 field goal attempts for a shooting percentage of .500, which is a season high for the Wolverines.

Daniel Horton's 24 points in the first half is the first time a Michigan player has scored 20-plus points in a half since LaVell Blanchard scored 20 against Northwestern on Feb. 28, 2001, at Crisler Arena.

LaVell Blanchard finished the game with a season-high 23 points and 10 boards for the 23rd career double-double.
