Michigan hosted Seton Hall on Tuesday night in the Gavitt Games — which puts a Big Ten school against a Big East school.

The Wolverines lost a thriller to Seton Hall on Tuesday night, 67-65. With a loss against the Pirates, the Big Ten is now 0-4 in the Gavitt Games with Illinois, Wisconsin, and Nebraska all falling to Big East teams.

While the 3-point shot didn’t go Michigan’s way in the first half on Tuesday, the Wolverines were able to do whatever they wanted in the paint — they had 20 points in the paint in the first half alone. The maize and blue led 31-28 in the first half, and Hunter Dickinson and Eli Brooks led the charge with 10 points each.

The Wolverines controlled most of the second half until Seton Hall tied the game up under five minutes to go in the game. After that, it was a back and forth game, while the Wolverines went on a three-minute stretch without scoring a bucket. Some no-calls didn’t go the Wolverines way, along with costly turnovers, and poor shot selections resulting in a close loss.

Here is the good, the bad, and the MVP from the game against Seton Hall.
