Wolverines fans, you can finally breathe again.
In a heart-stopping contest on Sunday, the Michigan Wolverines needed a near-half court heave from Hunter Dickinson to take the game to overtime but dominated the subsequent five minute period, defeating the Wisconsin Badgers 87-79.
Here’s how the game played out:
First Half
The Badgers initially appeared to be in full control of the game, as besides for a brief 20-second period in the first five minutes of action the lead stayed firmly in their corner. Things went from bad to worse for the Wolverines coming out of the first media timeout, as Wisconsin went on a nine-point scoring run that put Michigan back almost eight points.
