The Michigan men’s basketball team kicked it old school on Sunday afternoon.

In game two of the Legends Classic against Gardner-Webb, the team paid homage to a few of the program’s greats by donning their maize jerseys along with black sneakers and socks, a look that was popularized by the “Fab Five” in the early 1990s.

And the Wolverines (3-0) played like it was the early '90s, showing little mercy on either end of the court in an 80-58 rout of the Runnin’ Bulldogs (3-2).

Sophomore guard Darius Morris spread the ball effectively at the point, registering the team’s first double-double of the season with 21 points and 10 assists. He also shot an impressive 80 percent from the field.

Michigan coach John Beilein continued to praise his young floor general for improved transition play — Morris did a fabulous job pushing the ball up the court throughout the contest. He also showed off his range, as he was 2-for-2 from 3-point territory.

“I will tell you all year long — that young man shot a lot of shots in the offseason,” Beilein said after the game. “And he’s very often the last one out on the court. ... That’s a big thing for us. Last year, when people starting guarding him different and doubling off of him, that changed a lot of the ways we can score. (But) they have to respect him right now.”

Freshman center Jordan Morgan dominated underneath and continued to assert himself as the team’s top center option. Morris targeted him in the paint often against a weak Gardner-Webb frontcourt, and Morgan tallied a season-high 20 points and eight boards.

The Detroit native showed much improvement in his ability to finish off opportunities, as he scored both over defenders in the paint and falling away from them in the post.

“He’s come a long way,” Beilein said. “He’s learning how to fake, he’s feeling the people around him and he’s a very intelligent player. He’s an engineering student, doing very well. I like his growth.”

Morgan looked solid on the defensive end as well, stifling a number of drives to the hoop. Late in the first half, Gardner-Webb forward Josh Henley received a pass in the paint, but Morgan was right there to blanket him. As Henley struggled to find options, he was called for a 3-second violation, and Morgan earned a standing ovation from the Wolverine faithful.

Freshman forward Tim Hardaway Jr. also had a solid day with 15 points, including two buckets from behind the arc. But for the second straight game, he found himself in a bit of foul trouble early on. Just a couple minutes into the game, he picked up his first personal foul and temporarily checked out of the game.

“I’m not getting frustrated — it’s just a learning process,” Hardaway said. “(The coaches) probably just want to teach me a lesson to not foul because that was a stupid foul.”

Ironically, the Wolverines shot a season-high 52.4 percent against the Bulldogs, even though their veteran leader — junior shooting guard Zack Novak — was 0-for-4 from the field.

Then again, Beilein said all offseason that the team would embrace a wide variety of scoring options following the departure of All-Big Ten stars Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims from the program.

“It’s a good feeling,” Novak said. “I think that just helps everybody to be that much more relaxed when they’re shooting because you know if you’re not hitting, it’s going to be tough to stop everybody on this team from hitting.”

With the win, Beilein picked up his 600th career victory, with Michigan greats Jalen Rose (1992-94), Jimmy King (1992-95) and Ray Jackson (1992-95) of the infamous “Fab Five” in attendance.
