Encore! Michigan thumps Purdue, defends Big Ten tourney title

Wolverines coach John Beilein, Zavier Simpson, Moritz Wagner and Jon Teske discuss team's Big Ten tournament championship

New York — Purdue got the best of Michigan twice in crushing fashion during the regular season.

The Wolverines made sure Round 3 in the postseason wasn’t going to follow the same script.

Fueled by another balanced scoring effort and huge bench spark by Jon Teske, fifth-seeded Michigan exacted its revenge and defended its Big Ten tournament title with a 75-66 victory over No. 3 Purdue in Sunday’s title game at Madison Square Garden.
