INDIANAPOLIS − Michigan basketball continued to show that winning close games is a skill on Sunday as the Wolverines outlasted Wisconsin in the Big Ten tournament title game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Wolverines opened the month of March 0-3 to fall out of Big Ten regular season title contention and as a result, simply focused one main goal with the postseason on tap: get its swagger back.

After a frantic weekend, with three games in three days in Indianapolis, it's safe to say mission accomplished, with the Wolverines beating Wisconsin 57-53 in the Big Ten tournament title game.
