No. 15 Michigan Edges Nebraska 49-46 in Defensive Struggle

Michigan secures its lowest-scoring victory in 17 years, overcoming Brice Williams' dominant first half with strong defensive adjustments.

Michigan held Nebraska to 26% shooting, marking the Cornhuskers' worst offensive performance since 2019, while shooting a season-low 30% themselves.
Brice Williams scored 26 points for Nebraska, including 18 of the team's 21 first-half points, but was limited to 2-of-8 shooting in the second half due to Michigan's defensive adjustments.
Key plays in the final minutes, including foul shots by Roddy Gayle Jr. and Tre Donaldson, helped Michigan seal the victory despite late Nebraska attempts to take the lead.
Danny Wolf recorded his 12th double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Gayle and Donaldson contributed 12 and 11 points, respectively, for the Wolverines.
The win moves Michigan (21-6, 13-3) into a tie for first place in the Big Ten standings, while Nebraska (17-11, 7-10) faces increasing pressure to secure a spot in the Big Ten Tournament.
