Michigan needed a win to boost its resume, and the Wolverines certainly got one in its Big Ten quarterfinal match with No. 10 Indiana on Friday.
With the game tied at 69-69, sophomore guard Kameron Chatman (who averaged only 2.8 ppg going into the game) secured a steal with 21 seconds left in the game and sunk a corner 3 as time expired to give Michigan a 72-69 lead.

Time appeared to run out as the shot went down, but the referees put 0.2 seconds back on the clock. But it wasn't enough time for Indiana to get off a potential game-winning shot to give the Wolverines a 72-69 win and a semifinal berth in the Big Ten Tournament.
