• Michigan appeared to lose the ball out of bounds on an offensive rebound with the ball going off Danny Wolf. But a replay review showed Wisconsin’s John Blackwell was the last to touch the ball.
• Then after Tre Donaldson missed a 3-pointer, Wolf again appeared to lose an offensive rebound. But replay showed the ball went out of bounds off Carter Gilmore’s right foot.

• Wisconsin opened up a double-digit lead, 38-27, on two Jamari McGee free throws before Will Tschetter hit a 3 for Michigan. Vladislav Goldin follows up with a short jumper in the post and the Wolverines are back to within six.
• Danny Wolf picks up his third foul for Michigan, which sends him to the bench. He’s 1-for-5 today (0-for-3 on 3s), which is at least one reason why the Wolverines are trailing.
• Wolf averaged 13.3 points for Michigan during the season.
• L.J. Cason hits another 3 for Michigan, answering a trey from Wisconsin’s Carter Gilmore. The Wolverines trail 32-27 as a TV timeout is taken.

Pretty decent time for L.J. Cason to have the best 90 seconds of his career. The freshman (who was 2 for his last 19 from long range) drills back-to-back 3-pointers from the same spot to keep Michigan within striking distance.

Wisconsin 32, Michigan 27, 15:22 to play.
