Indianapolis — Poor perimeter shooting. Careless turnovers. Defensive rebounding issues. A horrific first half.
No. 11 seed Michigan found a way to overcome it all in its first-round NCAA Tournament game against No. 6 Colorado State and extend its season for at least one more game.
The Wolverines put together a dominant second-half performance to rally from a 15-point deficit and advance to the Round of 32 with a 75-63 win on Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Sophomore center Hunter Dickinson had 21 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots for Michigan (18-14), which outscored Colorado State 46-27 in the second half and shot 60% from the field after halftime (15-for-25).
