Coming off a horrific three-game losing skid to end the regular season, Michigan ignited a complete turnaround at the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis. The Wolverines played as inspired basketball as they have in weeks, knocking off No. 6 seed Purdue, 86-68 in the Big Ten quarterfinals.
Purdue jumped out to a fast start, scoring the first six points of the game. In the early minutes, it appeared as if the Wolverines would just lay down and lose their fourth consecutive game.
But after Purdue's quick 6-0 run to open the game, Michigan put together a 10-0 run of its own to claim a four-point lead over the Boilermakers.
