    Despite some pretty egregious officiating, Northwestern finds a way to force overtime after Alex Olah hits a falling, fade-away put-back of a missed Demps jumper with 0.1 seconds remaining. He now has 20 points and 13 rebounds, single-handedly carrying this team to overtime

    Olah missed an open elbow jumper, and Demps missed a five-foot floater going right. These are the shots Northwestern wants, it's just going to come down to whether they can make them coming down the stretch. Meanwhile, Zak Irivn nailed an elbow-jumper of his own off a back screen. 54-52 Michigan...

    Skelly got beat on a baseline drive earlier, and McIntosh and Demps have it going, so he probably wants a a better perimeter defender on the floor. If they need offense, he'll probably go back to Skelly
