Not every game is going to be a masterpiece in the Big Ten, sometimes the goal is simply outlasting the opponent and finding a way to get out of their gym with the win. That was the aim for No. 19 Michigan basketball when it entered play against the final winless team in the league, but Minnesota (9-9, 1-5 Big Ten) had other ideas as it mounted a second-half comeback and upset the Wolverines, 84-81, in OT at Williams Arena in Minneapolis on Thursday.

When a basketball player enters college as a McDonald's All-American and is still in the NCAA in his fifth year, more often than not, it means he's not likely to hit new heights in that final season.

From sleepless in Seattle to winless in Michigan, the Washington basketball team almost certainly did not enjoy its trip to the Mitten State.

It was yet another well-rounded performance for Dusty May’s team, with five players scoring in double figures.
