Five Key Plays: Michigan 72, Northwestern 70

Michigan survived against Northwestern in a game that most people will want to forget. The Wolverines played well for 25 minutes, let the whole game slip away, and then figured out how to claw back and hold on in the closing moments. It was an ugly win, but a win nonetheless.

Here are Five Key Plays from the tumultuous second half featuring Eli Brooks, DeVante’ Jones, and a surprise appearance from Jaron Faulds.
