Michigan basketball signee Trey McKenney warms up before 37-point game

Trey McKenney, No. 19-ranked recruit in 2025 class headed to Wolverines, shot 12 of 17 with eight made 3s in OLSM’s 67-62 loss to IMG Academy, Jan. 9, 2025 at Oakland University.

From sleepless in Seattle to winless in Michigan, the Washington basketball team almost certainly did not enjoy its trip to the Mitten State.

Michigan basketball made sure to do its part in creating an unenjoyable stay as it hammered the Huskies, 91-75, Sunday afternoon at Crisler Center, which came just days after U-Dub lost in East Lansing by 34 points. the Huskies were outscored by 50 on their trip East.

It was yet another well-rounded performance for Dusty May’s team, with five players scoring in double figures. Vladislav Goldin led the way for a second consecutive game with 19 points and seven rebounds while Nimari Burnett was next with 16 points while going 6-of-6 from the floor (including making all four of his attempts from 3).

“I can’t imagine any wing in the country that’s bringing more to his team than Nimari,” May said. “I could talk about him for days. … He’s given himself to the team.”

Roddy Gayle Jr. scored 15 after missing the last game vs. UCLA with a knee bruise, Sam Walters scored 12 and Danny Wolf added 11 points and eight rebounds, as U-M shot 52.7% (29 of 55) as a team and reached the 85-point threshold for the eighth straight game and 10th time this season (the program’s most such games since the 1993-94 season).

What did Goldin take away from the game?

“Probably that everybody contributed in this game, wasn’t a single effort,” he said. “It’s helpful when everybody plays the right way, it makes pretty easy.”

The Wolverines (13-3, 5-0 Big Ten), after their fifth straight win, kept pace with Michigan State as the only two undefeated teams in conference play. U-M is next in action against league cellar-dweller Minnesota (8-8, 0-5 Big Ten) in Minneapolis on Thursday (7 p.m., FS1).
