Under 12 timeout , tied at 11.

Oregon up 35 33 at half.

Uh oh. Wilson misses an easy layup for Michigan. Oregon up by 5 at the 8 minute timeout.

 

This game feels a little like Michigan UL. Oregon has been in the lead and in control but it feels like Michigan is the team that will close out better from here.

 

Big difference in this one is Oregon is switching defenses frequently to keep Michigan off balance on offense, something UL would not do.

56-53 Ducks; 6:34.

Michigan figuring it out. Back to back threes and they lead by 1 with 4:15 left.

You might be right. Michigan takes a 61-60 lead with 4:18 left.

Michigan is just so well coached and disciplined and they can flat out shoot.

Walton playing well.

68-65 Michigan; 1:54 left.

Oregon cannot get a stop. Wagner, the Michigan hero vs UL, has watched the last 12 minutes from the bench. Walton who UL handled is the man tonight.

Oregon only has committed 3 fouls.

Walton playing well.

 

If I had to pick one player from the NCAA tournament to build a team around, it might be Derrick Walton, Jr. he has had a fantastic tournament.

Same score with 9.8 left. Michigan ball.

Walton's shot comes up short & Oregon wins 69-68.
