In what was a true throttling, the Michigan men's basketball team beat Michigan State 69-50 Thursday night, earning itself the outright Big Ten regular season title. Following a cagey first 17 minutes, an elbow from Michigan State's Aaron Henry to Franz Wagner sparked a 9-2 run to end the half for the Wolverines. Michigan never looked back from this run, earning a double-digit lead it would never relinquish.

For a variety of reasons, Michigan failed to take advantage in the first half, and a second-half collapse led to a 76-53 loss. One glaring cause, though, was Dickinson’s all-too-frequent presence on the Wolverines’ bench due to foul trouble.

BLOOMINGTON — Franz Wagner stepped up to the foul line. Then, he did it again. And again.
The sophomore wing looked like he could do anything he wanted against his defender — and he knew it. Penetrating the outer membrane of Indiana’s defense, Wagner was either finishing at the rim or creating enough contact to earn his points from 15 feet out. By the second TV timeout, he had gone 5-of-5 from the charity stripe and scored ten points.

It was utterly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
The Michigan men’s basketball team was already leading by 20 points when sophomore wing Franz Wagner slashed across the lane and flipped up a runner over the outstretched hand of an Iowa defender. It fell to put the Wolverines up 22. Again, with just over a minute remaining, the basket bordered on trivial.
