Michigan Basketball’s 2018 Big Ten Tournament Championship Highlights

For the second straight year, the world underestimated John Beilein and his Michigan basketball team. After some early season struggles and questions, the veteran head coach got his team together when it mattered most and has led the Wolverines to the 2018 Big Ten Tournament Championship in back-to-back seasons.

Escaping a near upset in the first round from 12-seed Iowa in overtime, getting revenge on Nebraska in the quarterfinals, beating up on Michigan State for the second time of the season in the semi-finals, and then getting revenge and then some on Purdue in the finals.
