Graduate student Mike Smith scored 10 points and dished out three assists, while Eli Brooks had seven points, three rebounds and three assists for Michigan (3-0).
As a team, U-M shot 55.9 percent (33-for-59) from the floor and out-rebounded Ball State, 41-26, with nine offensive boards.
Ball State (0-2) scored first, but it was Michigan that went on the first run of the game to go up, 11-2, on 4-for-4 shooting from the floor in the first five minutes.
Coming out of the under 12-minute media timeout, Michigan continued on a 12-2 scoring run and put Ball State on ice offensively to extend it lead to 23-8.
In a half that was defined by runs, Michigan scored seven straight points in 1:01 to extend its lead to 20 before Ball State went on an 8-0 run of its own to pull within 12 of Michigan, 34-22, with 4:02 left in the first half.
The Cardinals battled their way back to a seven-point deficit in the closing minutes of the first half, forcing Michigan to call a timeout with 30 seconds left. U-M kept Ball State off the scoreboard in the final half-minute to take a 40-33 lead into the halftime break.
Michigan hit six of its first seven shots in the second half to push the lead back into double-digits, 56-42, heading into the first media break.
Livers elevated his game in the second half, scoring eight points in the first 10 minutes and capping off a 9-0 Michigan run with a dunk to extend the U-M lead to 71-48.
The Cardinals could not come back from the deficit as Michigan earned the victory.
