Michigan beat Ohio State 75-69 on Sunday afternoon, bolstering their shot at receiving a bid in the NCAA Tournament. It was a must-win game, and it was on the road against a hated rival — wins don’t get much sweeter in the regular season.

Here are social media reactions from the Wolverines win over the Buckeyes.

Had to love Moussa's play on both ends. Same with shot Kobe's huge shot in the clutch. T-Will was terrific... but most of all Devante Jones was flat out brilliant!! Helluva job, @umichbball... HELLUVA job!!! https://t.co/j8XcaMbT16

Phil Martelli and Michigan went 3-2 without Juwan Howard. Heck of a job.

Phil Martelli and his absolutely ginormous maize pullover just beat Michigan State by 17 and Ohio State on the road five days apart, and likely punched Michigan's ticket into the NCAA Tournament field.

DeVante' Jones was superb and Michigan likely locked up an NCAA bid. Big win on the road 75-69 over Ohio State. No Hunter Dickinson, but Jones and Brooks steady and cool. And so was the guy on the sideline, Phil Martelli.

And thus ends Phil Martelli’s tenure as acting head coach.

A 3-2 record essentially secured Michigan’s NCAA bid. Not too bad.
(But won’t count in the history books. Results will count as Juwan Howard’s.) https://t.co/u3LCRCVdFC

The phrase "must win game" is used too often in college hoops but this was a must win game for Michigan.

Wolverines go on the road without Hunter Dickinson and get it done, 75-69, against Ohio State.

U-M finishes 11-9 in Big Ten play.

DeVante Jones knows what month it is. He had 21 points and nine assists as Michigan, minus Hunter Dickinson, beats Ohio State 75-69. Gonna be tough to keep Michigan out of the NCAA Tournament now.

Michigan wins at OSU with no Dickinson. Big one. Should get them in. Phil Martelli is a damn good coach in addition to playing Frank Barone.

No Juwan Howard. No Hunter Dickinson. Caleb Houstan 0-for-10.

Michigan still gets a MONSTER road win in Columbus against Ohio State.

Wolverines effectively punched their ticket into NCAA tourney with this one.
