The Wolverines opened red-hot and took a 42-32 lead into halftime, before an 11-2 early second half run by Arkansas cut the Wolverines lead to within one. But Michigan's depth proved to be too much as along with Robinson, Trey Burke had 16 points and seven assists and Tim Hardaway Jr. added 14 points as well. Marshawn Powell scored 18 points for Arkansas, which fell to 4-4 on the season with the loss.
Meanwhile the Wolverines are now 9-0, which is their best start to a season since 1988-89. That season Michigan won the only National Championship in school history.
The Wolverines will return to the court on Tuesday to take on Binghamton, before traveling to Brooklyn next Saturday to face the West Virginia Mountaineers.
