Ann Arbor – With the taste of a Legends Classic blowout loss lingering in their mouths, the Wolverines were searching for a remedy.
A home game against Mid-American Conference foe Ohio seemed like a much-needed elixir.
While it wasn’t pretty and far from easy, No. 20 Michigan made enough plays late in regulation and in overtime to claw out a 70-66 win on Sunday at Crisler Center.
Junior center Hunter Dickinson led the way with 24 points and 14 rebounds, freshman wing Jett Howard added 13 points and grad transfer guard Jaelin Llewellyn scored 10 for Michigan (4-1), which was outrebounded 49-46 and shot 38.
