Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman came out of the first timeout and hit a 3-pointer, a possession Michigan got after a Charles Matthews steal on the other end. After 'Nova started 0-for-4 from beyond the arc, Donte Divincenzo hit from beyond the arc from the Wildcats. Abdur-Rahkman and Divincenzo traded buckets again, with 'Nova's sixth-man getting a 3-point play. Jordan Poole answered with a bucket and a foul of his own on the other end, and he'll shoot the free throw out of the next timeout.
At the 11:51 mark, the Wolverines lead 18-14.
