Mike Boynton Jr. pumped his left fist once, then again.
The Wolverines were stuck in the mud early but found life with a two-man game between Elliot Cadeau and J.P Estrella as the duo helped flip the game in the first half as Michigan knocked off the Golden Eagles, 84-70, for the first signature victory of Boynton’s Michigan tenure on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.

Down seven midway through the first half, Michigan’s 29-8 run spanned a 10-minute stretch from the end of the first half to the beginning of the second half, as Boynton’s team built a 14-point lead just two minutes after coming out of the break behind consecutive 3s from Estrella, Trey McKenney and Elliot Cadeau and simply poured it on from there.
Moustapha Thiam hit three straight free throws, Quinn Costello drilled a pair of 3s, then Cadeau and Estrella chipped in back-to-back buckets to extend the lead to 21 with 12:19 to play.
