Despite a slow start and spotting the Oregon Ducks a 16-point lead, Michigan basketball nearly pulled off an impressive comeback Saturday.
Unfortunately, it fell short as the Wolverines failed to score on their last two possessions of overtime. Zavier Simpson drove to the basket and missed, then a putback attempt by Brandon Johns didn’t go, giving the Ducks a one-point win.
It was the third loss in four games for the Wolverines and their second straight. It drops them to 8-3 on the season and will likely drop them out of the top 10 after the last two weeks.
