Charles Matthews added 12 points, while Moritz Wagner and Duncan Robinson scored 10 apiece for the Wolverines (9-3). Dylan Osetkowski scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half to lead Texas (6-3), which shot a season-low 36.5 percent. Kerwin Roach II chipped in 11 points, and Mo Bamba added 10 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.
