- By Magi Helena

Hunter Dickinson had 22 points and nine rebounds and Eli Brooks scored 17 as No. 3 Michigan held off a late flurry to beat No. 4 Ohio State 92-87 on Sunday.

In a matchup of teams aiming for No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, the Wolverines had pulled away and led by nine with 23 seconds left. But a pair of 3-pointers from Duane Washington Jr. around a layup by CJ Walker layup got the Buckeyes within three points with 3 seconds to go.

Brooks sealed the win with a couple of foul shots. The Wolverines (16-1, 11-1 Big Ten) won their fifth straight around a three-week pause due to COVID19 issues.

Washington had a career-high 30 points and went 5-for-10 on 3s for host Ohio State (18-5, 12-5).

Garza has 2,126 points for Iowa, breaking the record of 2,116 points set by Roy Marble from 1985-89. Garza also had 11 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season. It was the fourth consecutiv­e win for Iowa (17-6, 11-5 Big Ten). Penn State fell to 7-12, 4-11.
