Post-game video: Wolverines survive poor start

The Wolverines surrendered the first 10 points of the game against Northwestern and quickly fell behind by even more, but still came out with the victory, defeating the Wildcats 72-63.

Michigan battled back from the early deficit to trail by just one point at the half, but again started poorly in the second, falling behind by nine. On what was a poor shooting evening for the Wolverines from long range, Aubrey Dawkins helped spark the offense, going 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. He scored 11 points and pulled down seven rebounds, while Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman led the team with 19 points and Derrick Walton scored 16.
