ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Te'yala Delfosse poured in a career-high 22 points to lead No. 5 Michigan to a 77-66 victory over No. 2 UConn on Wednesday night at Crisler Arena, snapping the Huskies' winning streak.
The Wolverines (1-0) controlled much of the contest against the perennial powerhouse Huskies (0-1) in a highly anticipated early-season matchup between top-five programs. Delfosse's offensive outburst proved decisive as Michigan never trailed after the first quarter.
UConn, a program with 11 national championships, saw its streak come to an end in front of a raucous home crowd. The Huskies struggled to contain Michigan's balanced attack, with Delfosse leading four Wolverines players in double figures.
The game marked the season opener for both teams and served as an early statement for Michigan in the national championship conversation.
