• After taking a 2-0 lead early, Michigan never trailed for the rest of the game.
• Manny Harris recorded his first career triple-double with 18 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists. It marked just the second triple-double in the program history.

•With Manny Harris' triple-double and DeShawn Sims' double-double (22 points, 10 rebounds), the two became the first Wolverine duo to post double-doubles in a game since the 2006-07 season. Courtney Sims (26 points, 10 rebounds) and Brent Petway (13 points, 11 rebounds) each had double-doubles against UW-Milwaukee (Nov. 15, 2006) in the championship finale of the John Thompson Challenge.
• Manny Harris' 10 assists marked just the third time in his career he has had 10 or more assists in a game. He had a career-best 13 against Oakland (Dec. 20, 2008) and had 10 at Ohio State (Jan. 28, 2009).
• DeShawn Sims posted his seventh career double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds against Northern Michigan. The 22 points also marked his 11th career game with 20-plus points in a game.
• DeShawn Sims' 10 rebounds against Northern Michigan gave him 496 in his career. He is just four rebounds shy of becoming the 38th player in U-M history to record 500 rebounds in a career.
