Michigan basketball beat Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals on Friday and will play Wisconsin Saturday. How to watch:

CHICAGO (AP) — Yaxel Lendeborg made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds remaining, and No. 3 Michigan beat Nick Boyd and No. 23 Wisconsin 68-65 on Saturday to advance to the Big Ten Tournament championship.

The Wisconsin Badgers, playing without a pair of key players, fell short of their straight third Big Ten Tournament Championship game appearance.

The stinging ending aside, Wisconsin showed "great fight" in its loss to No. 3 Michigan in the Big Ten tournament semifinals.

After Friday’s four-point victory over Ohio State, Michigan head coach Dusty May was asked if he liked close games. “If we win, yes, I love it,” he quipped. He must have loved Saturday’s game against Wisconsin.

No. 1 Michigan seeks revenge against No. 5 Wisconsin in the Big Ten tournament semifinals after the Badgers handed them their only conference loss in January.
