Ann Arbor — It was a familiar script for the Wolverines.
The outside shots were clanking off every inch of the rim. The opposing big man was a menace in the paint. The absence of junior forward Isaiah Livers was felt on both ends.
Yet, No. 19 Michigan found a way to overcome it thanks to several clutch baskets by senior guard Zavier Simpson and several late defensive stops to pull out an 84-78 double-overtime win over Purdue on Thursday at Crisler Center.
