The Michigan basketball team took home their first Big Ten championship since 2014 when they beat hated rival Michigan State on Thursday. It was a surprising run by the Wolverines through the toughest conference in college basketball.
Most experts were not very high on the Wolverines this year and they were even picked to finish ninth in the conference at the beginning of the year.
