Whatever the postseason holds, Michigan at least can relish dinging rival Ohio State’s prospects.

Spike Albrecht scored 16 points to help the Wolverines upset the 24th-ranked Buckeyes, 64-57, Sunday.

The Buckeyes (19-8, 8-6 Big Ten) trailed by as many as 17 points in the second half before closing to 49-46 with seven minutes left with a 14-0 run. Zak Irvin answered with a 3-pointer a minute later and Ohio State never got closer than four points the rest of the day.

“This felt like a rivalry game,” said Albrecht, who added five assists. “The emotion was there.”

D’Angelo Russell had 16 points and Keita Bates-Diop scored 12 as the Buckeyes lost their second straight.

Irvin added 15, seven rebounds and four assists for the injury-depleted Wolverines (14-13, 7-8), who defeated a Top 25 team for the first time this season.

Albrect and Irvin each played 38 minutes and fellow starters Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman and Aubrey Dawkins were on the floor for 37 and 34, respectively.

Oregon 69, Utah 58: Dillon Brooks scored 11 straight points for Oregon late in the second half and finished with 19 to help the Ducks beat No. 9 Utah 69-58.

Wichita State 62, Evansville 43: Fred VanVleet scored 18 of his 22 points in the first half to lead Wichita State past Evansville, 62-43.

Ron Baker added 18 points and 15 rebounds for the Shockers (25-3, 15-1 Missouri Valley).

Virginia 51, Florida State 42: Anthony Gill scored 13 points, Darion Atkins had 11 and No. 2 Virginia overcame a frightening collision of two of its players and beat Florida State 51-41

Tulsa 55, Temple 39: James Woodard scored 16 points and Rashad Smith added 13 points and 13 rebounds as Tulsa rolled over Temple, 55-39.
