Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan Wolverines
· NCAA Men's Basketball
Yaxel Lendeborg scores 18 points, grabs 9 rebounds and No. 3 Michigan beats Ohio State 74-62
The Wolverines (18-1, 8-1 Big Ten) took control with a 21-6 run in the second half after the Buckeyes (13-6, 5-3) tied it for a ninth time midway through the second half.
Ohio State's John Mobley Jr. scored 14 of his 22 points in the first half when Michigan led 33-30.
Mobley made a 3-pointer and assisted on Christoph Tilly’s 3-pointer to put the Buckeyes ahead by six early in the second half, compelling coach Dusty May to call a timeout.
It seemed to work because the Wolverines went on an 11-0 run during the pivotal part of the game and turned a previously closely contested game with 12 lead changes into a double-digit victory.
Michigan freshman Trey McKenney scored 12 points and Aday Mara had 11 points and four blocks.
Tilly finished with 17 points and Bruce Thornton had 10 points before limping off the court in the final minute with an ankle injury.
Puff Johnson made his Ohio State debut, a week after joining the team and becoming eligible after he was granted a temporary restraining order. He started his career in 2020 at North Carolina and later transferred to Penn State.
Michigan honored Trey Burke, the AP Player of the Year in 2013, by putting his No. 3 jersey in the Crisler Center rafters along with five former greats such as 1989 national champion Glen Rice.
Michigan: Hosts No. 7 Nebraska on Tuesday night.
