ANN ARBOR, Mich. (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 the second half in an uneven and sloppy performance that was hampered by 20 sales.
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.
The Wolverines had a shot to win in regulation but struggled to get a good shot against a zone defense that gave them 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.
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.
Michigan, who beat Bowling Green 96-82, could slip out of the top 25 with its lackluster efforts against Oakland.
