Fourth-ranked UConn exacted revenge on No. 16 Michigan with an 85-77 victory at TD Garden in Boston on Thursday night. The Huskies avenged last season's loss to the Wolverines in a highly anticipated early-season matchup between two of college basketball's premier programs.
Sophomore guard Silas Demary Jr. was among the key contributors for UConn, helping the Huskies control the tempo against a Michigan squad featuring Elliot Cadeau. The game marked the first meeting between the programs since Michigan's upset win in the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
UConn improved to 2-0 on the young season, while Michigan fell to 1-1. The Huskies' balanced attack and defensive intensity proved decisive in the neutral-site contest, which drew a large crowd to the historic Boston arena.
