Michigan barely pulled out a win on Monday against Maryland after a quick turnaround from playing Michigan State on Saturday.
On Thursday night in their third game in six days, the Wolverines finally looked out of gas.
Nebraska (14-7, 5-3 Big Ten) controlled nearly the entire way, beating U-M (16-5, 5-3) 72-52 for the first time since 1964 and moved onto 11-1 at home this season.
The loss dropped the Wolverines to an even 3-3 on the road this season and was their first loss to Nebraska since they joined the Big Ten.
Summary
It was a pair of 5-0 runs to open the game on both sides, but the Wolverines started the game shooting 4-of-5 from the field to take a 9-7 lead into the first media timeout.
