In a thrilling NCAA college basketball game, No. 20 Michigan managed to hold off Ohio State with an 86-83 victory on Sunday. Vladislav Goldin’s critical putback basket in the final minute, along with his 20-point, 10-rebound performance, helped secure the win for the Wolverines. Danny Wolf also contributed with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Nimari Burnett added 11 points. Despite Devin Royal’s impressive 26 points for Ohio State, the team fell short in their efforts to secure a win.
Michigan’s victory over Ohio State comes on the heels of a recent win against No. 7 Purdue, positioning them to move up several spots in the AP poll. The game also saw Roddy Gayle Jr., a former Ohio State player, contribute to Michigan’s success with a crucial go-ahead basket. The loss was a disappointment for Ohio State, who missed out on a coveted Quad 1 win despite a competitive game featuring 11 ties and 16 lead changes.
Michigan’s dominance on the boards, with a 46-31 rebounding advantage, as well as their success in second-chance points and points in the paint, played a key role in their victory. The win spoiled Ohio State’s first sellout crowd of the season, but the team remains optimistic with five games left in the season. Looking ahead, Ohio State will host Northwestern, while Michigan will face off against No. 11 Michigan State in their next matchup.
