. . World News – USA – No.. 25 Michigan survived Oakland 81-71 in overtime

. . ANN ARBOR, me. (AP) - Isaiah Livers scored 22 points and Hunter Dickinson had all 19 points after halftime, helping No.. 25 Michigan survived Oakland 81-71 in overtime on Sunday night. Dickinson, a 7-foot-1 center, scored six points early in overtime to give Michigan (2-0) control of a game that was expected to easily win. The Wolverines led by eight points in the first half and six points behind in an uneven and sloppy performance that was hurt by 20 turnovers. The Golden Grizzlies (0-4) had a chance of their third win over a ranked team in program history and the first in a decade, but seemed to run out of energy in their fourth game in five days. Jalen Moore led Oakland with 21 points and Trey Townsend had 13. The Wolverines had a shot to win in regulation but struggled to get a good shot against a zone defense that kept them in trouble all night. Michigan had the ball at 26. There were 8 seconds left after a time-out and Dickinson had to force a jumper just before the buzzer and the game went into overtime. LARGE PICTURE Oakland: The Horizon League team from the suburb of Detroit can build confidence in their performance against a senior and well-rested team. Michigan: Reducing sales will be a focus in practice. The Wolverines gave up the ball 15 times in the first half, finishing regulation at 20. POLL IMPLICATIONS Michigan, who beat Bowling Green 96-82, could slip out of the top 25 with their lackluster efforts against Oakland. UP NEXT Oakland will play their fifth game in a week at Purdue on Tuesday (1-1). Michigan receives Ball State on Wednesday night (0-1). ___ Follow Larry Lage at https: // twitter. com / larrylage . . .
