Yep, the Michigan Wolverines won the Big Ten Tournament. The Illini can take heart in the fact that the team they lost to, Minnesota, lasted till the very end. The Gophers were defeated in the championship game by the Wolverines.
Not only that, Minnesota actually defeated Michigan in the second round to force them to the loser’s bracket. Unfortunately, Michigan was able to fight back and win two games against the Gophers to win the tourney championship.
