Moe Wagner scored 16 points and Duncan Robinson added 12 to lift No. 23 Michigan to a 62-47 victory over Rutgers Sunday.

The Wolverines (17-5, 6-3 Big Ten) rebounded from a 20-point loss at Nebraska on Thursday, taking the lead for good with a 13-0 run in the first half. Both teams shot well under 50 percent from the field, but this Michigan team is more capable of winning with defense than in the past.

The Eagles weren’t done and stormed back within 71-69 on Jordan Chatman’s 3 with 33 seconds left. After King’s two free throws made it a four-point game, Chatman’s long-range attempt bounced off the rim and out of bounds.
