The Big Ten Tournament isn’t finished yet, but fans of the Maize and Blue are already dancing with excitement about what is likely to come next. The Wolverines missed the opportunity to pad their resume in a final home game against Iowa last week, but picked up an even stronger victory on Friday afternoon, knocking off Big Ten regular season champion Indiana 72-69.
In a surprisingly exciting contest, Michigan not only went toe-to-toe with the Hoosiers, but even managed to keep up in the fast pace exchanges that unfolded. The Wolverines never trailed by more than five points, but with that margin appearing with two minutes remaining, it took a strong finish to claim victory.
