No. 19 Michigan Loses 60-55 To No. 12 Villanova

The senior forward had the go-ahead basket and game-saving block in the final minute to lift No. 12 Villanova over No. 19 Michigan 60-55 in the Legends Classic championship game Tuesday night. Pinkston put the Wildcats (5-0) up 56-55 with a spin for separation and a one-handed shot with 13.4 seconds left. LeVert put the Wolverines up 55-54 and flexed his muscles in the direction of Villanova players. The Wolverines, who missed 12 straight shots at one point, suddenly could not miss. After his team was down 38-31 only 2 minutes earlier, Spike Albrecht hit a go-ahead 3 for a one-point lead. "When we were running our offense, running our sets, doing good cuts, setting good screens, it was working," LeVert said. Ennis had the defensive play of Villanova's young season with a block late in the first half. Ennis landed on his tailbone after his epic elevation sent 'Nova fans into a frenzy. Michigan and Villanova, two of the most decorated programs in college basketball, played each other for the first time since the 1985 NCAA tournament.
