Big Ten Tournament 2018: Purdue 75, Michigan 66
The Big Ten Tournament looked to be a showcase of the conference’s top 3 teams: Ohio St., Purdue, and Michigan St.
Instead, it was a coming out party for perhaps its most dangerous: Michigan. With its win in the Big Ten Tournament Championship game over Purdue 75-66, it’s now beaten all three of the tournament favorites, including a win over #2 Michigan St. the night before. While many have complained about moving the tournament up a week early and having Madison Square Garden play host, Coach Beillein will leave the Big Apple with a Big Ten Tournament Title and likely a one or two seed improvement in the NCAA tournament after Selection Sunday in a week.
