Michigan 65 Missouri 64

Yes, Michigan didn't get into the Big Dance. Yes, they probably deserved a bid too the tournament. But on the other hand they were supposed to be banned from tournament play this year. So when Michigan got a bid, to play in the NIT, they were very happy. Last night in the first round of the NIT they played a hot Missouri team. They won the game 65-64. There were almost 10 lead changes in the game. Michigan had a 9 point lead at one point,but Missouri came back. Both teams played very well. Near the end of the game Daniel Horton made the game winning bucket. He came down the court with only a few seconds left and hit a jumper to put Michigan up by 3. Missouri came back down and just missed the game tying three. With 0.01 left on the clock they got a layup. Michigan threw the ball in and the game was over. Now Michigan plays the winner of the LSU-Oklahoma in the second round.
