(№ 12) Michigan 84-80 Indiana
23-7, Big Ten 15-3

I didn't see the final game of the regular season because I was at a religious retreat all day Saturday & Sunday, & before I could watch the game on Monday the house's D.V.R. gave up the ghost as a result of a three-second blackout. So, I cannot comment knowledgeably on the ebb & flow of the game. I can affirm that the streak continues: under the stewardship of head coach John Beilein, the valiant Wolverines have never lost a game in which they scored at least eighty points. Plus, who doesn't like to win on Senior Day?

Next: The winner of Illinois-Indiana (who meet on Thursday), in the second round of the Big Ten tournament on Friday, 14 March. The valiant Wolverines are the № 1 seed in the B1G tourney & are ranked № 8 in the season's final Associated Press poll. (Michigan was ranked № 7 in the preseason A.P.)

Go Blue!
