Michigan Wolverines
Last time out, Michigan hosted the Lipscomb Bisons and won 83-75. This was a strange game that saw a close first eight minutes, Michigan dominance for the next 20 minutes, and a tight ending. The Wolverines led most of the game but found themselves down four late in the game. Ultimately, Michigan pulled out the win, but could not cover the 14-point spread.
Kobe Bufkin had 22 points, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal on the day. Jett Howard added 19 points, two rebounds, four assists, and one steal in the win.

North Carolina Tar Heels
North Carolina competed in the CBS Sports Classic and beat #23 Ohio State 89-84 in overtime. The Buckeyes will be hurting after this loss as they led by nine at the break and saw the game get sent to overtime by a Pete Nance turnaround jumped as time expired. North Carolina was the better team in overtime and were able to cover the 2.5-point spread.
