Harris had a three-point play and a dunk as Michigan (3-0) went up 76-73 with three minutes left in the extra session. He picked up an assist on Zack Novak's 3-pointer that made it 79-73.
"That was a big game for us, to come out against a team like Creighton," Novak said. "It's a good program. To be able to get that victory early over a team like that I think is going to help us."
