The last 30 seconds of the Michigan-Indiana contest in the Big Ten tournament had all of the makings of fantastic spring hoops—including mixed reactions.
It began with great defense and a Hoosiers error, giving the Wolverines possession of the ball at their baseline with the score tied at 69.

Michigan dribbled the ball up the court, watching the seconds tick by.
Then with time running out, the Wolverines began a drive to the basket, followed almost immediately by a pass to the perimeter.
