MICHIGAN 97, CENTRAL ARKANSAS 53

Moe Wagner had 18 points and seven rebounds, and Michigan made a school-record 19 three-pointers in a rout of Central Arkansas at Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, Mich.

The Wolverines (8-3) also set a school record with 45 attempts from three-point range, easily handling UCA's zone defense. Michigan made its first 11 field-goal attempts from inside the arc -- its first miss from there didn't come until early in the second half.

Jordan Howard scored 14 points for UCA (1-9). The Bears have played only one home game all season. They return home Friday to the Farris Center in Conway against Arkansas State.

Zak Irvin scored 16 points for Michigan, Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman had 14 points and Duncan Robinson added 12 points. Those three made four three-pointers apiece.

The Wolverines broke the school record of 17 three-pointers when Ibi Watson connected from the left wing with 3:58 to play. By then, Michigan had gone deep into its bench.

The previous school record for three-pointers came against Bryant on Dec. 23, and the record for attempts was 42, set Dec. 22, 2008, against Florida Gulf Coast.
