3 things we learned from Michigan basketball's exhibition win over Eastern Michigan

1. The Wolverines' backcourt proved to be the team's offensive engine, with Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney leading the charge. Cadeau, often the ball handler, facilitated plays and assisted his teammates. McKenney, given more freedom than in previous seasons, scored 21 points and shot the ball well from various spots on the court. Together, they controlled the offense and set the tone for the game.

2. Moustapha Thiam emerged as another dynamic player for the Wolverines. Despite not having a standout stat line, Thiam demonstrated his ability to change games with his gravity on the court. His presence in the paint created opportunities for open shots, and his defensive efforts, including four blocks, contributed significantly to the team's success. Thiam's versatility and impact both on offense and defense were noteworthy.

3. The exhibition game against Eastern Michigan showcased several promising aspects of the Wolverines' team. Quarterback Quinn Costello continued to prove his shooting prowess, contributing 16 points and demonstrating his length on defense. Freshman point guard Kenny Noland, despite having a less impressive performance, was expected to show improvement in future games. Overall, the team displayed promise and potential for growth in the upcoming season.
