November 24 - Dug McDaniel delivered 20 points and eight assists to propel Michigan to an 83-78 victory over Stanford in the consolation round of the Battle 4 Atlantis on Thursday night in Paradise Island, Bahamas. <\/p>\n
Terrance Williams II provided 17 points and Oliver Nkamhoua added 16 points as Michigan (4-2) advanced to a matchup with Texas Tech in the fifth-place game on Friday night. <\/p>\n
In a freewheeling, seesaw game, Michigan rallied from a 14-point deficit in the first half and a seven-point deficit early in the second half. <\/p>\n
The Wolverines also blew a 13-point lead late in the second half before regaining control behind McDaniel, who scored 10 of his points in the final 6:38. <\/p>\n
Tarris Reed Jr. contributed 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting and five rebounds. Nimari Burnett added 10 points and six rebounds as all five Wolverines starters hit double figures. <\/p>\n
Jared Bynum scored 22 points and dealt six assists to lead Stanford (3-3), which faces Northern Iowa in the seventh-place game on Friday. <\/p>\n
Michael Jones had 16 points and Maxime Raynaud added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Cardinal, who shot 50 percent from the floor and made 12 of 27 shots (44.4 percent) from beyond the arc. <\/p>\n
Michigan was even sharper, however, as it made 59.3 percent from the floor and 8 of 18 (44.4 percent) from deep. <\/p>\n
After falling behind 52-45 early in the second half, Michigan went on a decisive 22-2 spree, which included eight points from Nkamhoua. <\/p>\n
Defense also played a role during the sprint as McDaniel and Reed had breakaway buckets off steals. Reed also had blocked shots on consecutive Stanford possessions. <\/p>\n
Stanford recovered from the run to tie it 72-all with less than five minutes left on a 3-pointer from Bynum. But Michigan dominated the rest of the way. <\/p>\n
In the first half, Stanford blitzed Michigan, hitting 10 of its first 12 shots, including consecutive 3-pointers by Jones that gave the Cardinal a 23-9 lead. <\/p>\n
But Michigan responded immediately. Will Tschetter drained a 3-pointer early in a 21-5 run, which included a 3-pointers by Burnett and Williams. <\/p>\n
When Reed made a steal and a breakaway slam to complete the stretch, Michigan had a 30-28 lead with 6:31 left in the half. <\/p>\n
Stanford was down 45-44 at the break before Jones opened the second half with a personal 8-0 run. After burying back-to-back 3-pointers, Jones scored on a breakaway after Bynum made a steal and a feed. <\/p>\n
