In all seriousness, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that stealing a share of the Big Ten regular season championship was always a bit of a pipe dream. But there was zero question in regards to the NCAA Tournament hopes the Michigan Wolverines need a win before the end of the season.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t find it on Thursday evening, as an early lead gave way to a all-out dogfight from the Illinois Fighting Illini that ended in a 91-87 double overtime loss for the Wolverines.
