It might not have been the prettiest of games. But 3 seed Michigan survived by beating Florida State 58-54.

The game was a back and forth game dominated by both teams defensive efforts. Michigan managed to take a 1 point lead going into halftime. But after Florida State hit the first basket of the second half, the Wolverines went on an 11-0 run to take control of the game.

The Seminoles would chip away at the lead, but any time they got close, Michigan would hit a shot to extend the lead. It looked like it was truly over when Duncan Robinson made a three pointer with just over 2 minutes to give Michigan a 54-44 lead. Florida State managed to cut the lead all the way to 2 points with 20 seconds left, thanks to some missed free throws by the Wolverines. But Robinson would hit the two free throws that Michigan needed at the end to give the Wolverines a 4 point victory and send the Big 10 Tourney Champion to San Antonio.

Michigan has now won 15 of their last 16 games – with their last loss coming in early February. They are peaking definitely at the right time, and are now just two victories away from a National Championship.
