Will Tschetter’s impressive second half pushes Michigan past No. 11 Wisconsin

We have all heard this story before.

A Michigan Wolverines basketball lead going into halftime against a Big Ten opponent. The difference was, against the Wisconsin Badgers, Michigan managed to pull out its first victory in six games and defeated the Badgers, 72-68.

The first half swung in the Wolverines’ favor — much like Rutgers, Michigan State and Iowa — with the team outshooting Wisconsin, 53.8 percent to 46.2 percent in the first half. Through the first six minutes, Tarris Reed Jr. led Michigan with a pair of dunks, a block and a steal to keep the game tied with the Badgers.
