Miami women’s basketball (6-3) lost its second straight game at the Watsco Center on Thursday to No. 17 Michigan (8-0) by a score of 76-64 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

“That was intense, physical and dramatic. We killed it on the glass, the effort was unbelievable,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said. “I think it was the first time this year that we literally played our guts out, but, in big moments, [Michigan] hit the shot or got to the free throw line. They’re very hard to score against and they are a great team.”

After a rough first quarter, Miami bounced back in the second quarter and secured a lead, but Michigan went on a quick 8-3 scoring run going into halftime, and the Wolverines held a 34-31 lead at the break.
