College Basketball AP Top 25: #1 Ohio State Survives Scare, Beats Michigan Wolverines.

The #1 Ohio State Buckeyes (27-3) held the Michigan Wolverines (20-11) scoreless over the last 3:54 to capture a 64-61 win in Ann Arbor. Michigan was up by six after Courtney Sims completed a three-point play but the Buckeyes responded with an 8-0 run the rest of the way to grab the win.

Ohio State was able to survive an awful day from beyond the three-point line as they hit just 4 of their 19 attempts. Greg Oden finished with 16 points and 6 rebounds and Ron Lewis added 16 in the Buckeyes win.

Dion Harris led the Wolverines with 19 points.

The Buckeyes closed the season out 15-1 in the Big Ten while Michigan finished 8-8 and may need a minor miracle to get an invitation to the NCAA Tournament.
