Michigan Wolverines Clinch Thrilling Victory Over Ohio State Buckeyes
The Michigan Wolverines edged out a thrilling 86-83 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday, February 16, 2025, at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The win marked Michigan’s sixth consecutive victory, keeping them atop the Big Ten Conference standings with a 12-2 record, one game ahead of Michigan State.
The game was a tightly contested battle, featuring 11 ties and 16 lead changes. Michigan’s resilience in the final minutes proved decisive, as they secured the win with key plays down the stretch. A critical putback basket by an unnamed Michigan player with 52 seconds left gave the Wolverines the lead for good. Michigan’s dominance on the boards, outrebounding Ohio State 46-31, and their ability to capitalize on second-chance points (21-12) were pivotal factors in the victory.
Ohio State, led by an unnamed player who scored 26 points, had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds but missed a crucial shot in the lane. The loss dropped the Buckeyes to 15-11 overall and 7-8 in the Big Ten, spoiling their first sellout crowd of the season.
Michigan’s balanced scoring effort included a 20-point, 10-rebound performance from one player and 17 points and 11 rebounds from another. The Wolverines’ strong defensive stops and efficient play in the paint (46-34 advantage) sealed the win.
Michigan will look to extend their winning streak when they host No. 11 Michigan State on Friday, while Ohio State will aim to bounce back against Northwestern on Thursday. The victory solidifies Michigan’s position as a top contender in the Big Ten and boosts their momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
