Carmen Reynolds matched a season high with 16 points and Michigan capitalized on Nebraska's abysmal shooting to upset the 13th-ranked Cornhuskers 63-52 on Thursday night.

Michigan (18-7, 7-5 Big Ten) led 32-12 at half after going on a 26-3 run and holding the Huskers without a field goal for just over 14 minutes.

The 12 first-half points were the fewest by a Top 25 team against an unranked opponent since then-No. 9 California scored 11 against Oregon State in February 2008, according to STATS LLC.

Nebraska (19-4, 8-3) shot 26 percent but looked like it would make a game of it late. Michigan was up by 27 points early in the second half, but a spate of turnovers allowed the Huskers to cut it to eight with 2:01 left when Jordan Hooper made a jumper in the lane.

Courtney Boylan added 14 points, Rachel Sheffer 13 and Nya Jordan 11 for Michigan, which shot 48 percent but committed 24 turnovers.

Lindsey Moore had 23 points and Hooper added 14 for Nebraska.

The Huskers found themselves down 20 points at halftime after shooting 13 percent - 4 of 30 overall, 1 of 15 on 3-pointers. They missed 17 shots in a row, including eight 3s, and committed four turnovers as Michigan pulled away.

Reynolds hit a 3 to start the 26-3 run after Nebraska's Hailie Sample scored inside with 16:49 on the clock. That was the Huskers' only field goal until Hooper's double-pump bucket 2:46 before half.

The Wolverines scored on three straight possessions to stretch their lead to double digits, with Kate Thompson and Reynolds dropping back-to-back 3s to make it 22-8.

Hooper made three free throws for the Huskers' only points during the field-goal drought, but there was a 12-minute span in which they were shut out. When the Huskers finally scored, the home crowd erupted with a big, sarcastic cheer.
