ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Yaxel Lendeborg had season highs with 25 points and 12 rebounds to lead No. 7 Michigan to an 86-61 win over Middle Tennessee on Wednesday night.

The Wolverines (4-0) tuned up for next week’s three-game tournament in Las Vegas, where they might face No. 2 Houston in a field with many AP Top 25 teams.

The Blue Raiders (3-1) went on a 13-2 run in the first half to pull within one and trailed by just six points at halftime before getting routed.
