Michigan basketball survives Ohio's late-game heroics, pushes ahead for 70-66 in overtime

Michigan basketball escaped the first Mid-American Conference team on Nov. 11, outlasting a talented Eastern Michigan squad at Little Caesars Arena.

It did so again on Sunday against Ohio at home in Ann Arbor — by a fairly slim margin.

On the heels of a blowout loss to Arizona State, U-M was down by six with 4:13 to play on Sunday before going on an 8-0 run, capped with two free throws by Kobe Bufkin with 2.1 seconds to play.

But after a timeout, the Bobcats inbounded the ball the length of the court.
