In the first half, it looked like the Oregon Ducks were going to run away with an easy road win over Michigan basketball. Anthony Mathis was burying three’s, while the Wolverines went cold on empty trips. In time the maize and blue furiously fought back to take the lead in the second and ultimately send it to overtime. Both team’s will to win was incredible and it felt like a matchup where the winner was moving on to the final four.
From that tip, Oregon was dialed in and didn’t seem phased at the early start.
