Geo Baker scored 27 points on 10-for-15 shooting, and Ron Harper Jr. scored 20. Final score was Rutgers beating Michigan, 75-67.

Because of undisclosed medial reasons, Michigan played without reserves Frankie Collins, Jaron Faulds, Brandon Johns Jr., and Terrance Williams II. Due to personal reasons, Zeb Jackson wasn't at the game, either.
