The Big Ten is the best basketball conference in the land, and they proved that again Sunday with one of the best finishes of the season. #2 Indiana goes on the road and knocks off #7 Michigan, 72-71 as the Hoosiers claim their first outright Big Ten Title since 1993.
Down 1 with seconds left, IU goes to the Washington Hatchet, Cody Zeller, who converts the bucket underneath to give Indiana the lead with seconds to play. Michigan comes back with a chance to win it at the end, but two different tries fall short as Indiana hangs on to win.
Zeller finished with a season-high 25 points. Up next for Indiana, they will travel to Chicago and open the Big Ten Tournament Friday as the #1 seed.
