Michigan vs. Ohio State

In late night, overtime battle, between two top ten teams, it was a fight to the end between these two Big Ten powerhouses. Probably the biggest matchup in this one was Trey Burke vs. Aaron Craft. These two definitely lived up to the hype, but the two larger performances were definitely Tim Hardaway Jr. and Deshaun Thomas, cashing in for 23 and 17 respectively. The game was tied after 40 minutes, after Deshaun Thomas hit a three, to force the OT. With 7.9 seconds left, Ohio State was forced to foul, forcing Michigan to the line, after hitting the front but missing the back end of the two, it was a 76-74 game. Aaron Craft received the ball, rushing it up the court. Craft was met by Glenn Robinson at about the three point line, Craft made his way around Robinson, when he was met by Trey Burke, Craft had a step of Burke, and went up with a lay up. The lay up missed rim, and the buzzer sounded. Craft lay on the ground waiting for a foul. And I think he deserved one. There was definitely some contact, thought the slapping of Craft's, wrists. But honestly, Michigan deserved this win, and I tell you, after last night, I think Ohio State will be a 3 seed and Michigan a one seed. With that said, I think either of these teams ( plus Indiana and MSU) can make a final four run.
