This game felt like a slugfest with foul after foul.\u00a0 Mortiz Wagner made a layup with a little under 2 minutes left to give the Wolverines the lead.\u00a0 \u00a0And they made a defensive stop.\u00a0 But on their next possession, they were called for a foul on the defensive rebound.\u00a0 This gave Houston’s Devin Davis a chance to give the Cougars the lead from the free throw line with no time coming off the clock.<\/p>\n
Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman missed a jumper down the lane and Charles Matthews almost tipped it in.\u00a0 \u00a0But when Devin Davis grabbed the missed tip-in, he was fouled by Matthews.\u00a0 This time, Davis only hit one of the two free throws – extending the Cougars lead to 2 with 25 seconds.<\/p>\n
Abdur-Rahkman drove down the lane again, makes a pretty good move to get a chance at a layup, but can’t make it – and once again, Devin Davis gets the rebound.\u00a0 With 4 seconds left in the game, it looks like the Cougars are going to win the game.<\/p>\n
But Davis misses both free throws and Michigan calls time out.\u00a0 Abdur-Rahkman gets the in-bounce pass around mid-court, dribbles once and rifles a pass over to Jordan Poole.\u00a0 \u00a0And the freshman drains a last second three point shot with a defender in his face to win the game 64-63.<\/p>\n
It might not have been a pretty game for Michigan.\u00a0 \u00a0But Poole’s three-pointer was an incredible ending to the game.\u00a0 And at the end of the day, Michigan survives and advances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
