Buzzer beaters
The last time Michigan won on a buzzer beater, to my recollection, was Tommy Amaker's first season: January 19, 2002 at Crisler.
Michigan came back from a 10 point deficit against Minnesota in the final 6 minutes to tie the game 69-69. On the final play, Bernard Robinson Jr. threw up a 12 foot floater that went in at the buzzer.
That was the only drama to celebrate that year as the team finished 11-18. The team was so bad, there's no footage of it on youtube or pictures of it on google.
The only other buzzer beater I can think of was the Fab Five's secound round tournament game against UCLA in 1993 with Jimmy King's put back....
Can anyone think of any others?

Those were pretty. I love the black shoes also.

There is one student that rushes the court from the corner and celebrates with the players. I wonder what his reaction was when he realized that no one followed.

Wow, Crisler actually had people in attendance.

I'm trying to figure out why I have absolutely no memory of this game. I should have been there, I had student tickets and went to most/every game, and this just doesn't register.
Were NIT tickets part of the normal package back then?

Wasn't Quinn like an 80-85% FT shooter? I seem to recall him being near-automatic at the stripe.

shot against Savannah State. We were expected to beat them easily, but it came down to that shot. I can still see it. I was sitting about 15 rows up behind the basket where he scored.

Didnt Michigan beat Notre dame in the NIT semifinal with Dion Harris buzzer beater 3?

He wasn't that short, though. But I think Michigan played Earl Boykins EMU team that year!

I was at the Robert Henderson game. The game basically sucked because UM was way ahead and slowly let Illinois tie it up. And then Henderson hit the game winner and the place went crazy.
Later I saw him going to the movies at Fox Village.

I distinctly remember a Dion Harris OT buzzer beater against ND.
