Cassandre Prosper had 17 points and KK Bransford added 15 for the Fighting Irish (3-1).
Swords knocked down consecutive 3-pointers late in the first quarter to give Michigan a 17-10 lead.
Olson made two layups and Swords and Holloway had three-point plays a half-minute apart to give the Wolverines a 28-15 lead four minutes into the second quarter. They pushed the lead to 19 before going into the break on top 46-29.
