ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Go figure, a top-five matchup that lived up to its billing. And Michigan came out on top. The No. 3-ranked Wolverines went wire to wire with unbeaten Nebraska on Tuesday night, trailing for most of the game before a late flurry sparked a 75-72 victory at Crisler Center.
Michigan had the ball, down 70-67, when Cadeau threw a full-court pass to Mara, who was stripped for the 18th turnover of the game. U-M got within one when Lendeborg made a pair from the stripe with 3:36 to play only for Lawrence to score a layup on a back-cut to go back up three, 72-69.
When you have only one loss on the year, it inherently is your worst loss of the season. However, on a Tuesday night in Ann Arbor, a shorthanded Nebraska made arguably the loudest statement of the night.
