Game 27: Michigan 49 Nebraska 46 Final

Last time um won a game scoring under 50 was in 2008.


LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Roddy Gayle Jr. scored 12 points and Tre Donaldson made two free throws with four seconds left to give No. 15 Michigan a 49-46 win over Nebraska on Monday night, the fewest points the Wolverines have scored in a victory in 17 years.

It marked the third time in 11 years that a team won a Big Ten game with fewer than 50 points.

Michigan (21-6, 13-3) shot a season-low 30%, and Nebraska’s 26% shooting was its worst mark since it made 21.1% in a home loss to Maryland in 2019.

The game alternated between a mix of great defense and abysmal shooting. Nebraska (17-11, 7-10) was 1 of 7 on layups, Michigan was 3 of 12.

Michigan’s previous low point total in a win came in a 49-43 victory over Illinois on Feb. 23, 2008.

Donaldson finished with 11 points and Danny Wolf added 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Wolverines.

Brice Williams led Nebraska with 26 points. Nine teammates combined for 20.
