DAYTON, Ohio (AP) – A jumper with 3.3 seconds left in overtime. A 3-pointer from the corner at the buzzer. Michigan needed every last moment to get to the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines (22-12) went from one of the last-out teams to the First Four with a pair of dramatic wins in the Big Ten Tournament. They get to play Tulsa (20-11) in the last of the opening games on Wednesday night. The winner plays Notre Dame in Brooklyn on Friday night. Tulsa is hoping to take all of the drama out of Michigan in the final minutes. Zak Irvin hit a jumper with 3.3 seconds left for a 72-70 win over Northwestern in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. The Wolverines then upset top-seeded Indiana 72-69 on Kameron Chatman’s 3 from the right corner at the buzzer in the quarterfinals. Tulsa has nine seniors for an advantage in experience.
