In the end, Michigan basketball came out victorious. The Wolverines were reeling to end the regular season, but won three games in three days this weekend at the Big Ten Tournament, capped by a 59-53 victory over Wisconsin Sunday in Indianapolis.

A remarkable turnaround in Year 1 of Dusty May’s tenure led to Michigan putting an end to its two-year absence in March Madness with a Big Ten tournament title and making the 68-team field as the No. 5 seed in the South Region, where it will face No. 12 seed UC-San Diego on Thursday in Denver.

Wisconsin hit two more free throws to go up 11 but Will Tschetter finally stopped the bleeding with a three, and with 12:11 remaining in the game, it was 38-30, Badgers. Goldin got a layup just before the under-12 timeout and the deficit was six.
