Five Key Plays: Michigan 85, Nebraska 79

Michigan’s second tilt with Nebraska was far more dramatic than its first. The Wolverines won by 35 points in Lincoln but needed some late-game heroics to escape with a home win on Tuesday night. The Wolverines got great production from Hunter Dickinson, Eli Brooks, and DeVante’ Jones, and that was enough to survive down the stretch in a back-and-forth affair.

Here are Five Key Plays from the victory that pushed Michigan to 5-4 in the conference.
