Late calls haunt Michigan basketball in 70-69 loss to No. 7 Purdue

Two calls went against Michigan in the final six seconds.

“I can’t control the last two plays, where we think we have the ball out-of-bounds,” said Michigan coach John Beilein. “We don’t, then we have a foul.”

A tie-breaking free throw by Isaac Haas, Purdue’s 7-foot-2 center, with four seconds left was the difference in Michigan’s 70-69 loss to seventh-ranked Purdue on Tuesday night at Crisler Center.

“That was a tough way to lose a game, with a foul shot,” Beilein said.

But Purdue got the ball with six seconds left when Charles Matthews (14 points) had the ball knocked away by Dakota Mathias while driving to the basket with 6.
