After wiping out two rivals last week, Michigan took down a ranked team Thursday night, knocking off No.10 Wisconsin, 64-58, at Crisler Center.

The best win of U-M’s season — and loudest statement to the NCAA tournament selection committee — was Michigan’s first win over a ranked opponent since last season’s Big Ten tournament upset of No.10 Indiana.

The team that was under or at .500 in the conference all season slid above that mark for the first time this season, adding the Badgers to the pelts given last week over Michigan State and the Hoosiers.
