EVANSTON, Ill. — It's never easy when Michigan basketball plays at Northwestern.
Tuesday night's game at Welsh-Ryan Arena was no exception.
The Wolverines came to town looking for their first road win over the Wildcats since 2013.
It didn't come easy.
No. 5 Michigan had enough to survive its first big test of the season, after blowing out every opponent prior to this, walking away with a 62-60 win over Northwestern.
Michigan threatened to pull away throughout the game, taking several double-digit leads. But Northwestern used a 15-2 run to cut Michigan's lead to two.
