Michigan Wolverines vs Florida Gators
Samuel, Pullin help Florida beat Michigan 106-101 in 2OT at Jumpman Invitational
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- — Tyrese Samuel had a season-high 21 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, Zyon Pullin scored 22 points and Florida beat Michigan 106-101 in double overtime Tuesday night at the Jumpman Invitational for the Gators fourth win in a row.
Samuel got deep post position and threw down a dunk that made it 93-all with 3:51 left in the second overtime and Michigan sealed it with an 11-0 run. Pullin followed with two free throws and Walter Clayton Jr. and Will Richard made back-to-back layups before Clayton hit a 3-pointer that capped the spurt and gave Florida a nine-point lead with 47 seconds left.
Dug McDaniel scored a career-high 33 points and made 12 of 13 from the foul line for Michigan (6-6). Olivier Nkamhoua scored 24 points and a grabbed a season-high 11 rebounds, Terrance Williams II scored 17, Tarris Reed Jr. 14 and Nimari Burnett 10.
Richard scored 17 and Alex Condon 13 for Florida (8-3). Clayton scored 12.
Reed converted a three-point play early in the second half to give Michigan a two-point lead and spark a 14-4 run that gave the Wolverines their biggest lead of the game at 55-46 when Reed hit a jumper in the lane to cap the spurt with 15 minutes to play.
Micah Handlogten made a layup before Pullin finished through contact at the rim and hit the and-1 free throw to give Florida a three-point lead with seven minutes remaining in regulation.
Nkamhoua's 3 put the Wolverines up 72-69 two minutes later but Richard answered with a 3-pointer. Pullin followed with a layup before he and Richard sandwiched three-point plays around another by Reed to give the Gators a four-point lead with 1:36 left. Burnett hit a jumper and — after a tie-up gave Michigan the ball back — Nkamhoua threw down a put-back dunk to make it 81-all with 12 seconds to go. Reed blocked a potential winning layup attempt by Pullin before Condon missed a 3-point shot as time expired.
Samuel grabbed an offensive rebound off a missed 3 by Clayton and kicked it out to Pullin for a 3-pointer from the left wing with eight seconds left in overtime to make it 89-all and eventually force a second OT.
The Gators had a season-high 10 blocks — including three by Condon — and reached double-digit steals (10) for the fifth time this season. Florida outrebounded the Wolverines 54-43 and had 21 offensive rebounds, the Gators' sixth game this season, and second in a row, with at least 20.
Florida returns home to play Grambling on Friday.
Michigan kicks off a three-game home stand, and the Wolverines wrap up their nonconference schedule, Nov. 29 against McNeese.
