Overtime Thriller Ends Up In A Heartbreaker
Somplace In, IN (AP)- Coming into the game Michigan had this season's series 1-0. Indiana did not want to lose twice to MU. But what team came out victorious? It started out with Indiana on fire and had a 6 point lead early. But Michigan was led by their starters. They totaled up 76 of Michigans points. Berger and Chung were the leaders each having 18. Chung hit some very critical three pointers late. Michigan ended the first half on a 12-5 run which got them ahead by 3. They started the 2nd half great with a steal and then a 3-pointer by Chung. IU wasn't looking good at all mid-way through the 2nd half but led by Bobby Townes, IU came back from a 10 point defecit to tie it up. This high scoring affair was a thriller also. Townes hit a great 3 pointer to get the Hoosiers up by 3, 77-74. Chung answered right back to tie it at 77. This game was too good to end in 2 halves so it went into OT after a PF #34 missed buzzer beater. But, again, the freshman sensation, Bobby Townes, was just too much for the Wolverines as he got most of Indiana's points in OT. IU got up by 5. Then 7. Then 5. Then 8 and it was over by then. Michigan had some kind of offense to make the final score 97-92 in the Hoosiers favor.
Berger is an angry man in this picture
SG #03 gets a tough shot to fall
Myers also gets a tough shot to fall
C #22 has a great dunk that made the defender look silly
This block by Ferguson was too late as there was under a minute to go in OT- Approximately from 3:30 to 0:00 in OT for the Hoosiers as they gained a lead and never gave it up

WOW...uh...WOW!!! That is a CENTER!!! NOT A SG, A CENTER!!
