Wisconsin vs. Michigan Game Summary

In an awkward slugfest of a first half, neither team commanded a lead of greater than five points at any point. That 12-7 lead was held by Michigan after a Vladislav Goldin 3-pointer with 11:46 to play in the opening half. Wisconsin took a 23-21 lead on a John Blackwell layup with 2:34 to play in the half, which ended up being the halftime tally.

Wisconsin shot 22% (8 for 37) in the first half, including 4-for-24 (17%) from 3-point range. Michigan shot 28% (9 for 32), but was just 3-for-17 (18%) from 3-point range and didn't attempt a free throw in the first half.

Wisconsin pushed its lead to eight points early in the second half on a Max Klesmit layup with 16:37 to play. The Badgers extended their lead to 38-27 before Michigan trimmed it back to 38-34.

Wisconsin held a 45-38 lead on a pair of John Tonje free throws with 7:39 to play, but Michigan pulled even not quite two minutes later on a Danny Wolf layup.

The game was tied at 53 with 1:34 to play, but Michigan scored the last six points to claim the title.

The Wolverines were paced by Vladislav Goldin and Tre Donaldson, each with 11 points. Michigan shot 32% for the game.

Wisconsin was paced by John Blackwell's 18 points and Max Klesmit added 12. The Badgers finished at just 22% shooting.

ESPN's bracketology projects Wisconsin as a No. 3 seed and Michigan as a No. 5 seed. Given the gap between the teams, it seems unlikely that a different outcome would have made any significant difference.
