The Champs Were Here (02/28/26)

Michigan clinches the outright Big Ten Title at the State Farm Center with an 84-70 win over Illinois. Mike Carpenter reacts to the disappointing loss, one in which the Wolverines proved their national title bona fides while the Illini enter March with some questions. Boswell, Wagler, and Mirkovic were strong, but the rest of the roster struggled mightily. Up next: Oregon on Tuesday.
