Michigan's Magic Slam: Thrilling Game-Saving Heists!
The Wisconsin Badgers had Michigan right where they wanted them until the final 30 seconds. Head coach Greg Gard opted not to use his final foul to give, but the Wolverines didn't use their final timeout either. With the game tied at 65, Michigan drilled a game winning three with just 0.
