But as the Wolverines have done all year long, somehow, some way, they found a way to win. This time, it was Tre Donaldson saving the day, scoring a coast-to-coast basket with less than a second left to give the Wolverines a win after they were trailing with less than five seconds to play.

The Wolverines outrebounded Maryland 47-18. They got off five more shots while having a field goal percentage three points higher. They hit just as many 3-pointers on fewer attempts. They had 44 points in the paint compared to Maryland's 30 and had 18 second-chance points compared to Maryland's four.
