The moments that define Michigan's record-setting basketball season

In advance of Monday night's national championship against Villanova, here are the games and moments that defined the season in which Michigan set a program record for victories - so far with 33.

Trouble in paradise

After a 3-0 start at home, Michigan went to the Maui Invitational and faltered in the final minutes of a two-point loss to LSU. It was a bad loss for at least three reasons -- LSU wasn't all that good; Michigan made several key mistakes late; and it meant the Wolverines had to play Division II Chaminade next. Michigan won that game but needed to beat VCU to feel good about its Hawaii trip.
