Called Shots →Across the three games of Michigan's European tour, Quinn Costello attempts more three-pointers than any other Michigan player.
Quinn Costello is in Michigan's starting five for its November 3, 2026 season opener against Oakland, as listed on the official Michigan box score for that game.
Kenny Noland plays 15 or more minutes in each of Michigan's first two regular-season games of 2026-27, against Oakland on November 2 and UConn on November 6, 2026, as listed on Michigan's official box scores. A game he does not appear in scores as zero minutes and the row loses.
Written about him
The NCAA lost its stay on Noland and asked the court to hurry instead
The Indiana Court of Appeals denied the NCAA's emergency motion to stay the Monroe Circuit Court injunction that makes Kenny Noland and dozens of other athletes eligible on October 16, in an order by Judge Elizabeth Tavitas with Judges Bradford, Kenworthy and DeBoer concurring. On October 20 the NCAA filed a verified motion to shorten time and for an expedited briefing schedule in the appeal, NCAA v. Daley, 26A-PL-02703, and the players filed an objection on October 22. No ruling on that motion appears on the docket, and no transfer petition to the Indiana Supreme Court has been filed since the court denied an emergency one on October 1. Michigan plays 10th-ranked Houston in an exhibition at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids on Sunday, October 25, at 1 p.m. Eastern, and opens against Oakland at Crisler Center on November 2. At media day on October 22, Mike Boynton Jr. said he expected Roddy Gayle Jr. to start with Elliot Cadeau, Trey McKenney, J.P. Estrella and Moustapha Thiam, with Ricky Liburd, Quinn Costello and Oscar Goodman in the next group, and said Joseph Hartman would miss probably a couple of weeks with a shoulder injury.
Michigan's fifth starter had never played a minute for Michigan
Michigan beat Eastern Michigan 87-62 in an exhibition at Crisler Center on October 11. The official box score lists Elliot Cadeau, Trey McKenney, Ricky Liburd, J.P. Estrella and Moustapha Thiam as starters. Liburd, a sophomore guard who did not appear in a game in 2025-26 and did not play on the August tour, had 2 points and 3 rebounds in 11 minutes. Roddy Gayle Jr. did not play; Mike Boynton Jr. said his injunction order did not address his participation in Summer League and that Michigan hopes for an amendment within days. Kenny Noland, whose Indiana order does carry that wording, played 14 minutes off the bench. Quinn Costello scored 16 in 24 minutes and Joseph Hartman 10 in 18. Michigan plays Oregon State in its second exhibition on October 16.
J.P. Estrella Played Thirty-Five Of Forty Minutes For A Michigan Team Down To Eight
Michigan lost the second game of its European tour 82-77 to Lithuania's National B Team on August 24 in Utena, a day after losing 96-84 to the Lithuania senior national team in Vilnius. Michigan's box score listed ten players and Michigan used eight, with Moustapha Thiam, Trey McKenney and Ricky Liburd all resting nagging injuries as a precaution and Lincoln Cosby and Jalen Reed still rehabbing. Four Wolverines played more than thirty-one minutes after none had reached thirty-one the previous night: J.P. Estrella 35:34, Quinn Costello 34:34, Oscar Goodman 32:04, Brandon McCoy Jr. 31:06. Michigan's reserves scored seven points on three-of-twelve shooting in 44:33, against forty bench points on Sunday, though Costello and Goodman had both come off the bench in Vilnius and started here. Michigan attempted forty-three three-pointers and thirty-three two-pointers, making eleven and seventeen. The Wolverines scored ten points in the third quarter and led 47-46 at halftime. Elliot Cadeau had nineteen points and eight assists in 22:09. Michigan closes the tour against Mega SUPERBET in Dubrovnik on August 27.
Michigan Lost Three Starters To Fouls And The Ball Twenty-Seven Times
Michigan opened its European tour with a 96-84 exhibition loss to the Lithuania senior national team at Arena Vilnius on August 23. The Wolverines led 56-44 at halftime and by fourteen early in the third quarter, then were outscored 52-28 after the break. Michigan committed 27 turnovers and 28 fouls. Trey McKenney, Elliot Cadeau and J.P. Estrella each committed a fifth personal foul, left the floor at it and did not return, all three inside the last eight minutes. Quinn Costello led Michigan with 17 points on five three-pointers off the bench in 27:45, second on the team in minutes. Joseph Hartman played 20:58 with five assists and finished the game at point guard. Michigan's bench played 105:10 to the starters' 94:50. Azuolas Tubelis, who played three seasons at Arizona, scored 31 points on 12-of-15 shooting for Lithuania. Michigan plays the Lithuania B Team on August 24 in Utena and Mega SUPERBET on August 27 in Dubrovnik.
