Ann Arbor — It was all runs and reruns, back and forth, bounces and breaks. And then at the end, on the verge of blowing a game, Michigan found a new way out of the tumult, leaning on its serene senior.
He’s not the flashiest player or the leading scorer or the loudest guy. But on a night Michigan missed easy shots and clutch shots and let a lesser opponent rally, Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman did what he does. With nary a word or a blink of emotion, he nailed two free throws with 1.2 seconds left to give Michigan a desperate, 68-67 victory over Maryland Monday night.
