Michigan, NCAA's foe Okla. St. among nation's most efficient offenses

WASHINGTON -- Michigan's basketball team celebrated twice on national television on Sunday.

The Wolverines were elated after winning the Big Ten tournament at the Verizon Center, less than a half hour before their name popped up as the Midwest Region's No. 7 seed for the NCAA tournament.

Michigan was an easy television target during Sunday's NCAA selection show because CBS already was on site for the Wolverines' 71-56 win over Wisconsin, U-M's first Big Ten tournament title since 1998.
