ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Ohio State got pushed around for 40 minutes last time out in a loss to Penn State. The Buckeyes backed that up by wilting in the final minutes of what was, for about 32 minutes, a tight game with Michigan on Sunday.

The No. 22 Wolverines handed the No. 8 Buckeyes their second-straight loss, 74-62, on Senior Day in Ann Arbor. This marks Ohio State's first back-to-back losses since Nov. 29, when it lost to Clemson at home after losing to Butler in the PK 80 Invitational.

Ohio State (22-6, 13-3 Big Ten) fell into a tie with Purdue for second place in the Big Ten with the loss. Purdue plays Penn State later on Sunday night. A Boilermaker loss could leave OSU alone in second place. Michigan State now leads the league.

Keita Bates-Diop shot 5-for-17 (29 percent), his worst mark in Big Ten play, getting held in check for the second straight game. He finished with 17 points. And again Ohio State's guards struggled to get the ball moving. Ohio State finished with 14 turnovers and just eight assists on 23 made baskets.

Ohio State was 9-for-19 at the free-throw line.

Jae'Sean Tate had 20 points to lead Ohio State, but he was the only consistent offensive thing going for the Buckeyes. He also had four turnovers.

Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman led Michigan with 17 points in his final game at Crisler Center. It was a balanced attack for the Wolverines, who got 15 points from Jordan Poole, 13 from Zavier Simpson and 12 from Moritz Wagner.

Playing some zone to slow down Michigan's offense in the second half, the Buckeyes cut the Wolverines' lead to three at 55-52 when Tate split a pair of free throws with 7:53 left. But they couldn't get any closer. Simpson drove the length of the floor for a layup, then Poole hit a corner 3 off a Tate turnover.

Michigan got its lead back up to 62-53 with 5:48 left, never letting Ohio State all the way back in the game the way it did last time.

Ohio State came in wanting to show that Thursday's loss against Penn State was an aberration and not something to be concerned about moving forward. This wasn't the effort they were looking for.

The Buckeyes were physical early, scoring inside and holding an 8-2 edge in rebounds seven minutes in. But Michigan, which got pushed around in the second half the last time these two teams played and blew a 20-point lead, adjusted this time. And the Buckeyes had stretches of out-of-control offense on one end, with spurts where they lost shooters on the other end.

Michigan's largest lead of the first half was eight points, when Simpson finished a layup off a Tate turnover. That sequence followed one in which Ohio State's Kam Williams got crossed over and then fouled Poole on a made 3-pointer, ending in a four-point play.

Ohio State turned the ball over nine times in the first half, leading to 13 Michigan points.

Even with that, the Buckeyes managed to get it to halftime only down four, 32-28, after Bates-Diop hit a contested 3 with three seconds left.

What's next?

Ohio State plays its final home game on Tuesday against Rutgers. The 7 p.m. tip from Value City Arena will be televised by Big Ten Network. The Buckeyes will hold Senior Day ceremonies after the game.
