Building off their blowout victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Michigan Wolverines clawed their way to a seventh win on the season with a 83-75 victory over the Lipscomb Bison that was well within reach for either team until the final seconds.
First half
In a high powered start to the game, the Bison and Wolverines traded leads back and forth for the initial six minutes of the first half. It was Michigan which eventually wrestled the momentum in its corner, however, as it went on a dominant 14-2 scoring run on 7-for-8 shooting over the next three and a half minutes, pushing the lead to eight points.
