Wild ride continues: Michigan upsets No. 1 seed Purdue

WASHINGTON -- Michigan’s March continues to be mad.

For the second straight season, the Wolverines knocked out the Big Ten’s No. 1 seed, bouncing Purdue, 74-70, in overtime in the Big Ten quarterfinal at Verizon Center.

Michigan will play the winner of Michigan State vs. Minnesota at 1 p.m. Saturday

Despite their shooting touch vanishing in the second half and overtime, hitting just one three-pointer, the Wolverines (22-11) advanced to the Big Ten semifinals with … defense.

Michigan overcame a rough offensive game from Derrick Walton Jr., foul trouble and ineffectiveness from Moe Wagner and still found their way.
