    Tim Hardaway Jr. was a bit careless while contesting Alex Marcotullio's shot, fouling the 3-point shooter with 0.3 seconds remaining in a game Michigan led by three.

    Marcotullio went to the free throw line and immediately missed -- and Hardaway could breathe easy.

    "He had a wide-open shot and I was probably too eager," Hardaway said. "I need to be able to get over on a play like that and contest the shot without giving up a foul."

    Michigan was far from perfect Wednesday night, but the 13th-ranked Wolverines were a happy bunch after holding off Northwestern 66-64 in overtime. The Wildcats led by 10 in the second half before Michigan rallied and forced a tense finish. Hardaway scored 19 points and freshman Trey Burke added 19 of his own, including the Wolverines' final eight.
