(Sports Network) - Manny Harris had 20 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds to help 15th-ranked Michigan hold off Creighton in overtime, 83-76, in the opening round of the Old Spice Classic.

Laval Lucas-Perry had 18 points, DeShawn Sims added 16 points and 11 rebounds while Zack Novak donated 14 points for the Wolverines (3-0), who will play Marquette on Friday.

Justin Carter had a game-high 21 points with eight rebounds while Darryl Ashford added 16 points for the Bluejays (2-2).

In the extra session after Creighton got the first basket, Michigan got a bucket from Sims and a three-point play from Harris for a three-point lead with 3:44 left in overtime.

Antoine Young then hit a jumper, but a slam from Harris, a Novak three-pointer followed by Novak hitting one-of-two from the line gave Michigan a seven-point lead with 1:19 to play as the Wolverines cruised to the win.

The game see-sawed in the first several minutes of the second half and Michigan had a 53-50 lead with 13 1/2 minutes to play on a Lucas-Perry three- pointer.

Creighton got consecutive three-balls from Carter and Kaleb Korver to take the lead back and, after Harris put in a layup, P'Allen Stinnett hit a three- pointer and Kenny Lawson Jr. put in a layup for a 61-55 lead with just over eight minutes to play.

With Creighton holding a five-point lead and under three minutes to play, Michigan got two free throws from Lucas-Perry and a three-pointer by Stu Douglass to tie the contest and Harris' layup with under 90 seconds to play gave the team a 67-65 lead.

After Creighton missed a shot, the teams exchanged turnovers and Harris was fouled as he drove the lane with 40.3 seconds to play, but he missed both free throws.

Creighton called timeout on its next touch and a finger roll by Ashford tied the game with 14.8 left. However, Harris was fouled and hit two from the line for a two-point lead with 5.7 left.

Young, though, took the in-bounds pass, drove down the court uncontested and put in a layup with 0.2 seconds left to force overtime.

Michigan took the early lead in the game thanks to a 6-0 run and later in the first half had a 19-8 advantage on a Harris layup with a bit over 11 minutes to play.

However, the Bluejays ripped off an 11-3 run to help cut their deficit to 24-21 as Lawson capped the burst on a layup with just over six minutes to play in the first half.

The Wolverines again built their lead to double digits, but Creighton scored the final seven points of the first half and Ashford's three-pointer at the buzzer made it a 37-34 game at the break.
