Illinois
After heartbreaker at Illinois, Michigan is nearly out of time | UM Hoops.com
Hunter Dickinson may see the end line. In unbelievable trend, Michigan had seized a seven-point lead in additional time over Illinois; a win that the Wolverines so desperately coveted rested firmly of their grasp. Dickinson waved his arms within the air, beckoning a once-hostile crowd.
“Up seven in additional time,” Dickinson stated later, “you’ll be able to’t ask for a greater place to be in.”
No, you actually can’t. Not on the street, not in opposition to a crew like Illinois, not after erasing a seven-point deficit late in regulation to power additional time within the first place. This was the place Michigan needed to be.
And but the Wolverines fumbled away their lead anyway, finally falling in an excruciating 91-87 double-overtime loss.
“It’s fairly demoralizing,” Dickinson stated. “Simply seeing how nicely we performed, we put ourselves able to win. … We simply didn’t make the performs down the stretch.”
