6:38 p.m. – Race Thompson stole the entry pass to Dickinson, but he missed the fast break layup that would have given Indiana the lead.

6:26 p.m. – Michigan leads 65-62 with 3:55 after a Reed layup. This one's going to come down to the wire, and Indiana will have to do it without Trey Galloway, who fouled. The Hoosiers are 4-for-14 from 3-point range today with handful of wide-open misses.

5:57 p.m. – Jackson-Davis takes it coast to coast, bulldozing through Dickinson and Tschetter for the basket and a foul. Tschetter laid on the ground holding his nose well after the play, so it looks like the officials will go to the monitor to see if there's a flagrant foul. 

5:53 p.m. – Jett Howard connects on another 3 from the left wing to give Michigan a 47-38 lead. Indiana has been unable to stay close to Michigan shooters on the perimeter. Howard now has 16 points with 14:22 remaining. Now Trey Galloway has four fouls. 

5:43 p.m. – And now Michigan leads 42-34 with 16:29 left in the game. Indiana once led 27-13. It's been a total defensive collapse over the last eight minutes of action, though. Dickinson, Bufkin and Howard all have double-digit points now. 

5:41 p.m. – Michigan is 3-for-3 on 3-point shots to start the second half, jumping out to a 38-34 lead. After a strong defensive start, Indiana is leaving shooters open way too frequently.

5:39 p.m. – Michigan ties the game with a turnaround jumper from Bufkin, then takes a 32-29 lead with a 3-pointer from Howard. That's a 15-0 run.

5:35 p.m. – Here's a halftime stat update. Jackson-Davis leads Indiana with 10 points and six rebounds, followed by seven points from Thompson and six from Hood-Schifino. Indiana shot 14-for-30 (46.7 percent) overall and 1-for-9 (11.9 percent) from beyond the arc. Hunter Dickinson leads Michigan with 12 points, followed by seven from Howard and six from Bufkin. Michigan shot 11-for-27 (40.7 percent) overall and 2-for-11 (18.2 percent) from 3.

5:22 p.m. – Michigan ends the first half on a 10-0 run. Indiana didn't score in the final 2:52. The Hoosiers led by as much as 14 points, but it's just a two-point lead at halftime, 29-27. 

5:21 p.m. – Dickinson drains a 3 from the left wing to get Indiana's lead below 10 points for the first time in nearly eight minutes. Kopp missed a 3 on the other end. It really hasn't been his night, shooting 0-for-4 from beyond arc. Dickinson converts an and-one to make it a 29-25 game with 39.6 second left in the half. 

5:15 p.m. – Mike Woodson calls timeout as Indiana leads 27-17 with 3:11 left in the half. Bufkin just had an explosive dunk over Jackson-Davis, then a pull-up jumper of Race Thompson on the next possession.

5:10 p.m. – Galloway had a step on McDaniel the whole way, driving coast to coast for a layup. Juwan Howard calls timeout with Indiana extending its lead to 25-13. Bufkin scored a floater over Banks on the possession before, but nothing has been easy on the offensive end for Michigan so far. 

5:07 p.m. – Indiana is in a bit of foul trouble now, with Trey Galloway and Jalen Hood-Schifino at two fouls apiece. Galloway stayed in the game, though, and blew up a pick-and-roll action from Michigan as Williams stepped out of bounds.

5:04 p.m. – It's been a low-scoring affair through 12 minutes of play. Michigan is hoisting a lot of ill-advised threes, and they're 1-for-8 from beyond the arc. Indiana continuing to do a good job of limiting easy looks near the basket, though. Jackson-Davis will re-enter the game after the under-8 media timeout. It kind of feels like Indiana should be winning by more at this point, but it's still a 19-11 lead.

5:02 p.m. – Race Thompson converts a layup over Joey Baker, who picked up his second foul on the play. Thompson missed the free throw, so IU leads 19-11 with 8:20 to play. 

4:56 p.m. – Freshman Kaleb Banks getting his first run of the game, replacing Miller Kopp who started the game 0-for-2 from 3-point range. 

4:55 p.m. – Tamar Bates and Malik Reneau are the first Hoosiers off the bench. Bates missed a 3 from the left wing on his first possession. Hood-Schifino threw a lob to Jackson-Davis – it looked way too high, even for Jackson-Davis – but Indiana catches a break with a foul from Baker. Reneau makes a hook shot right after. Indiana leads 15-10.

4:51 p.m. – Indiana leads Michigan 13-10 at the under-12 media timeout. Looked like Kobe Bufkin dribbled it off his foot, so Indiana will have the ball after the break. Michigan is on a mini 4-0 run, with a baseline hook from Dickinson and a floater from McDaniel over Jackson-Davis. Been a bit sloppy to start, with three turnovers from Indiana and four turnovers from Michigan. 

4:48 p.m. – Galloway jumps the Michigan passing lane for a steal, then dishes a nice pass to Hood-Schifino in transition for a layup. Hood-Schifino picks up his first foul on the other end, with Indiana leading 13-6 at the 13:18 mark.

4:44 p.m. – Trey Galloway picked up Indiana's first foul of the game as Jett Howard drove to the basket, sending us to the under-16 media timeout. Indiana leads 9-5, led by Jackson-Davis with four points. Indiana's defense has been solid to start, not allowing anything easy near the basket. Both teams off to a below-average shooting start – Indiana is 1-for-3 from 3-point range and Michigan is 1-for-5.

4:40 p.m. – Race Thompson knocks down a 3-pointer from the top of the key to give Indiana an early 7-3 lead. Assembly Hall is rocking. Keep in mind, with a win, Indiana secures a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament.

4:38 p.m. – Jackson-Davis scores again on Indiana's second possession, a reverse layup past Dickinson. He looks like a man on a mission on Senior Night. 

4:36 p.m. – Michigan starts with the ball and goes right to Hunter Dickinson on the right block. He kicks it out and the ball is swung around to Jett Howard for a 3-pointer to open the game. Jackson-Davis scores over Dickinson on the other end. Great atmosphere at Assembly Hall.

4:31 p.m. – The Indiana student section is chanting "NIT" at Michigan during starting lineup announcements. Michigan's starters are Dug McDaniel, Kobe Bufkin, Jett Howard, Will Tschetter and Hunter Dickinson. Starters for Indiana are Jalen Hood-Schifino, Trey Galloway, Miller Kopp, Race Thompson and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

4:12 p.m. – Xavier Johnson and Logan Duncomb are not dressed for warmups, but Jordan Geronimo and Anthony Leal are in uniform and appear available for today's game.
