Ann Arbor — Riding high off an upset over No. 3 Purdue, Michigan had a shot to cap off a busy week with another win over a ranked opponent.
The problem: The Wolverines struggled to make many shots outside of the paint and anything further than 6 feet from the basket.
Michigan couldn’t overcome another poor outside-shooting performance and a rough second half as it ended its three-game, five-day stretch with a 68-57 loss against No. 16 Ohio State on Saturday at Crisler Center.
Fifth-year senior guard Eli Brooks had 17 points, sophomore center Hunter Dickinson added 14 points and grad transfer guard DeVante’ Jones finished with eight points, eight assists and 10 rebounds for Michigan (13-10, 7-6 Big Ten).
