New York – Michigan was craving another crack at Nebraska.
The Wolverines got their long-awaited shot on Friday and didn’t miss, using another stifling defensive effort and a dominant first half to roll to a 77-58 victory in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden.
Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman, Moritz Wagner and Duncan Robinson shouldered the load and combined for 57 points for Michigan (26-7), which avenged its 72-52 regular-season loss two months ago in Nebraska.
