Michigan scores first 21, beats Towson 64-47

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 15 points, and No. 17 Michigan started the game on a 21-0 run before cruising to a 64-47 victory over Towson on Monday night.

Freshman Trey Burke scored 13 points in his first career start, and Evan Smotrycz had 13 as well. The Wolverines (2-0) also started the second half with six straight points to take a 43-16 lead.

Robert Nwankwo led Towson (0-2) with 16 points.

The game was part of the Maui Invitational, although the result wouldn't have affected the tournament's schedule. Michigan is part of a set field of eight teams that will play in Hawaii next week. Towson is one of four teams playing preliminary games against Hawaii-bound teams. Those four teams also will play their own mini-tournament in Tennessee next weekend.
