UConn got its rematch, and it got it in Boston. Silas Demary and Braylon Mullins combined for 44 points as the No. 4 Huskies beat Michigan 85-77 on Friday night. The Wolverines had beaten UConn 69-63 in the national title game on April 6.

Coach Dan Hurley said the team tried not to show any clips from the April game. WFSB reported tickets were selling out quickly with many UConn fans traveling to Boston, and MassLive says the vast majority of the capacity crowd came from Connecticut.

  • Halftime: UConn led 43-30
  • Michigan cut it to 64-55 with 9:25 left
  • Mullins' four free throws made it 73-57 with 7:50 left
