Northwestern had an 11-point lead with 3:55 left in the half, but Michigan went on a 12-3 run to close the gap to 30-28.
The Cats are shooting the ball better than they have in some time: 52 percent. However, they also have 10 turnovers, matching their average for a full game. NU is up 16-8 on points in the paint as BMac penetrated well, and Benson and Skelly have 4 points each. Law leads NU with 7 points, while BMac has 6. They've got to get Law more shots -- he's 3-3 from the floor, including a 3, but went more than 16 minutes without a shot.
If NU does a better job taking care of the ball, they'll be in good shape. Michigan is up 6-0 on fast break points, and they missed a couple easy ones, too.
Robinson leads Michigan with 8 points, while seven Wolverines have between 2 and 4.
It's a tight-fisted war out there, though, and the intense effort produced some occasionally ragged play. The two teams combined for 21 baskets and 17 turnovers in the first half.
