If Michigan is going to knock off Wisconsin again today, the ball has to go to big men Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf, who starred in that early conference win over the Badgers and combined for 46 points in Saturday’s semifinal victory. Donaldson has done a great job setting up those scorers in the postseason.

Maryland almost broke through to the final for the first time, but the Wolverines’ Tre Donaldson refused to let it happen. The blindingly fast guard inbounded the ball to teammate Vlad Goldin with 5.3 seconds left, got it back and raced 80 feet for a left-handed layup in heavy traffic for an 81-80 win at the buzzer.
