There were four ties in the first quarter but Rutgers never led. Kiser scored inside and from deep before a Phelia layup pushed the lead to 28-18 midway through. Brown's three-point play at 1:51 made it 38-25.
Phelia had a three-point play and Brown a 3-pointer before Kiser scored the last four points of a 10-0 run that had Michigan up by 23 with less than five minutes to go in the third quarter.
Rutgers is at Michigan State on Sunday. Michigan is home against No. 6 Indiana on Monday.
