[NU Sports] Brutal

[Tom Maycock]

Yeah, that one hurt. Probably more than the Illinois game. The game was literally within their grasp on multiple occasions, but they just couldn't hold on. Luka tipping a rebound away from the waiting hands of Hearn on one of the last Michigan possessions was emblematic of the whole game. Way, way too many turnovers too--those were enough to make the difference.
