ANN ARBOR, Mich. — All season long, the Wolverines haven’t been able to finish strong and get over the hump in tight games against marquee opponents.
It happened against Virginia, against Kentucky, against North Carolina and against Purdue. That problematic pattern continued on Saturday.
Michigan fell apart down the stretch, missed its final seven shots and went scoreless over the final 5:12 as it saw its three-game winning streak come to an end with a crushing 62-61 loss to No. 18 Indiana at Crisler Center.
