Michigan is back in the Big Ten Tournament title game, thanks to heroics from Yaxel Lendeborg.

Chicago — The Wolverines toppled one Big Ten team after another during their near-unbeaten march to the outright regular-season title. Well, everyone but the Badgers. Top-seeded Michigan avenged its lone conference loss in Saturday’s Big Ten tournament semifinal, downing No.

BOX SCORE: Michigan 68, Wisconsin 65 Aday Mara had 16 points and eight rebounds, Elliot Cadeau scored 15, Lendeborg finished with 12 points and Trey McKenney had 10 points for Michigan (31-2), which squandered a 15-point second-half lead before Lendeborg’s heroics. YAXEL GIVES MICHIGAN THE LEAD IN THE FINAL SECOND!
