Michigan basketball falls in 2OT at Illinois, 91-87, slowing NCAA tournament push

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — For the second straight game, regulation was not enough time to decide a winner for Michigan basketball.

Down by seven with 2:06 to play, the Wolverines ripped off a 7-0 run and tied the game on a Jett Howard 3-pointer with 45.6 seconds in regulation. Hunter Dickinson tried a go-ahead hook shot in the final seconds, but it missed the mark.

In the extra period, Howard — in his first game back after missing the previous two contests with an ankle injury — hit a long ball from the exact same spot as the end of regulation on Michigan's first possession.
