FORT MYERS, Fla. \u2013\u00a0The Michigan Wolverines<\/a><\/strong> moved to 6-1 on the season with a dominant 78-53 win over the No. 22-ranked Xavier Musketeers on Wednesday night, handing them their first loss of the season en route to a Fort Myers Tip-Off Championship.<\/p>\n

The trip to Florida, included a 75-63 win over Virginia Tech on Monday to set up the Wednesday showdown, saw Michigan flex its defensive muscle in a tournament setting, moving up to No. 7 in KenPom\u2019s efficiency model on that end of the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was an extremely gritty performance, especially defensively against an Xavier program that we have the utmost respect for,\u201d Michigan head coach Dusty May<\/strong> said after the game. \u201cSean Miller\u2019s one of the best coaches in our game. They\u2019re a veteran group, and this wasn\u2019t their best game, but a lot of that, I think, did have to do with, with our size and our tenacity on the defensive end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were as active as we\u2019ve been. We were as physical as we\u2019ve been, and it\u2019s a good starting point for us as we have a long season in front of us and a lot of room to grow. Hats off to our guys. They fought they fought like warriors tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michigan junior Danny Wolf<\/a><\/strong>, who had 20 points and 14 rebounds in the win, was present with his head coach to discuss the win.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Coach said, Xavier is a respected program,\u201d Wolf said. \u201cOne of the older teams in college basketball. They play the game the right way. And I think it\u2019s a testament to how we played, it\u2019s a testament to our coaches putting us in positions to succeed. And when you get a championship game, when you\u2019re playing for something for a trophy, for some hardware, it just means a little bit more.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know both teams really wanted that. And I think it definitely felt like a tournament game to say the least, and just happy we came away with the win.\u201d<\/p>\n
