Winning a Big Ten regular season outright championship is a huge deal, regardless of season (in fact, only seven of the past 10 seasons even had an outright champ). Add in a second-year head coach, a bunch of new faces playing key roles, and, oh right, an ongoing pandemic, and Michigan’s performance this season looks even more incredible.
The Wolverines locked up the Big Ten regular season title on Thursday, but the season is far from over. A rivalry rematch on Sunday, the conference tournament (with maybe a third game against the Spartans), and then a potential NCAA Tournament run still lie ahead, meaning the story is far from over.
