As tempting as it is to bemoan yet another frustrating loss that the Michigan Wolverines choked away down the stretch, the team is unfortunately sending the fanbase towards something worse: apathy. Reality is finally settling in, and perhaps the only thing that can save this season is a Big Ten Tournament title.
That would likely require four-straight wins over quality competition, which might be as likely as Michigan winning out the rest of the regular season. That is probably the only other path to the Tournament, and it means beating the Wisconsin Badgers in Madison, which should be on the border of a Quad 1 game at the end of the season.
