Michigan survives upset scare

Muhammad-Ali AbdurRahkman made two free throws with 1.2 seconds left, lifting No. 23 Michigan to a 68-67 win over Maryland on Monday night in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Kevin Huerter connected on a go-ahead 3pointer on the previous possession for the shorthanded Terrapins, who trailed by 10 with five-plus minutes left.

Moritz Wagner had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Wolverines (16-4, 5-2 Big Ten).

Michigan was trailing by as much as 14 in the first half and was behind 30-20 at halftime, looking lethargic after a big win over thenNo. 4 Michigan State two days earlier. The Wolverines opened the second half with a 10-0 run and later took the lead with 13:02 left.

The Terrapins (14-6, 3-4) took the lead back midway through the second half, but Wagner made a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession. The Wolverines went ahead by 10 with 5:50 to go and yet barely did enough to win against a team with just eight healthy players on scholarship.

Maryland’s Anthony Cowan scored 24 points.

Gary Trent Jr. scored a seasonhigh 30 points and No. 5 Duke needed less than three minutes to erase a 13-point second-half deficit, scoring 18 consecutive points to overtake No. 25 Miami 83-75 in Coral Gables, Fla.

Duke (16-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended its winning streak against ranked teams to seven games, including four this season. Miami (13-4, 2-3) lost at home for the first time this season.

The Big 12 fined Texas Tech $25,000 and reprimanded West Virginia forward Wes Harris for hitting a fan who joined thousands of others in storming the court during a postgame celebration.

Videos posted on social media by fans show Harris and other West Virginia players trying to reach the sideline as Red Raider fans swarmed the court in celebration of No. 8 Texas Tech’s 72-71 win over thenNo. 2 West Virginia.

The videos show Harris striking a fan who had run into him. Other players were involved in a separate skirmish trying to protect a teammate in the swarm. AP
