WASHINGTON – When John Beilein arrived at Michigan, the talk was about banners taken down.
Ten years later, the Michigan coach has made it about the ones going up.
Michigan will raise another one after the Wolverines completed the improbable Sunday, winning the Big Ten tournament as the No. 8 seed, knocking off No. 2 seed Wisconsin, 71-56 at the Verizon Center.
Michigan's three tournament heroes came to play again. Derrick Walton Jr. led the way with 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds, while D.J. Wilson added 17 points and six rebounds, and Zak Irvin chipped in 15 points, seven boards and five assists.
