Dayton, Ohio — This one wasn't a buzzer-beater.
But, just like the last one, it was a season-saver.
Zak Irvin, who doesn't make a lot of shots but seems to make the biggest shots, hit a 3-pointer with 53 seconds left to help send Michigan past Tulsa, 67-62, in a First Four game of the NCAA Tournament at University of Dayton Arena on Wednesday night.
It also was Irvin's shot that sent Michigan past Northwestern last week, and likely into the NCAA Tournament, which will continue for the Wolverines (23-12) on Friday night against Notre Dame (21-11) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
