Updates from the Wolverines-Highlanders game:
FINAL
NJIT 72, Michigan 70 (FINAL): Don't adjust your screens. That's real. Michigan played with fire all afternoon, and NJIT couldn't miss. A really, really bad loss here for the Wolverines, as lowly NJIT was just 2-5 entering this game. NJIT shot 11 of 17 from 3-point range. The Highlanders were 58.7 percent from the field on the afternoon. Michigan, meanwhile, got 32 from Caris LeVert. But not much anywhere else. Zak Irvin went 2 of 11, 1 of 8 from 3, and finishes with just 5 points.
NJIT 68, Michigan 64 (2:30): Michigan's in trouble now. Damon Lynn cannot miss, he just buried another long 3-pointer. NJIT is a ridiculous 11 of 16 from downtown here, and just keeps hitting everything. LeVert has 27 to lead Michigan, who has to figure out a way to get some stops without fouling.
NJIT 61, Michigan 59 (4:32): NJIT is now 10 of 15 on 3-pointers after a crazy step-back triple by Damon Lynn puts the Highlanders back in front. Michigan had led, but this thing's going back and forth now.
NJIT 53, Michigan 52 (6:57): Well, it was worse. NJIT led by as many as seven points here in the second half after a 13-0 run. But the Wolverines have gotten back-to-back triples from Caris LeVert and Derrick Walton to cut it back to one. Albrecht just drew a charge, and the crowd goes from terrified to excited.
NJIT 46, Michigan 44 (10:35): Michigan continues to struggle both offensively and defensively, and with that, the Highlanders have a lead here in the second half. Michigan is now 17 of 43 from the floor. NJIT, meanwhile, is 19 of 32. Zak Irvin's just 2 of 8 from the floor, Caris LeVert has 14 points, but is 6 of 13. Not much intensity still, but that needs to change soon, otherwise Michigan's in trouble.
Michigan 44, NJIT 40 (15:01): Michigan's defense has been pretty much non-existent here in this one. NJIT is 17 of 27 from the floor, an even 63 percent. Caris LeVert paces the Wolverines with 14 points and 4 rebounds, but the overall intensity has been lacking.
