Michigan will play Wisconsin Sunday for the Big Ten Tournament Championship thanks to an unbelievable turnaround and last-minute game heroics against Maryland from Tre Donaldson
A thoroughly enjoyable article, Steve. The performance of the team under May has been nothing short of remarkable and it’s great fun to be a Michigan basketball fan again. May ought to get some real consideration for national coach of the year!
Great article. It is amazing that Dusty May spoiled Michigan fans so quickly. I am sure many others expected the team to pull out the win after seeing the same script also unfold against Wisconsin, Iowa, Northwestern, Penn State, Rutgers, Oregon, Indiana, Purdue, Ohio State, Nebraska and Rutgers again.
Thanks, Bob! Dusty keeps showing us how much goes into being a truly great coach. He planted that seed that San Antonio remains on their horizon and toughened them up to pursue the Final Four. Willard, according to Derik Queen at the half, told his team that perhaps they didn't belong on the court with Michigan. Now, he knows his team and got them back into the game, but not before having the lead ramp up to 15 for Michigan. Now, what are his players thinking after the loss? I've never been a believer in negative motivation, but some are.

Thanks a ton, Brian. Wouldn't it be something if Dusty doesn't win Big Ten COY but wins National COY?
How about neither but wins the NC?
We could definitely love just that!
