If Michigan basketball can beat Purdue on Sunday in the Big Ten tournament championship game, the Wolverines will have won a total of three Big Ten banners in two seasons.
For perspective, in the previous the seven seasons, the Wolverines hung one Big Ten banner, after winning the 2021 regular-season championship.
Michigan was knocked out of the Big Ten semifinals that season, following an injury to Isiah Livers, which might have cost that squad a shot at a national title. The Wolverines season ended in the Elite 8.
The point is, it's hard to hang Big Ten championship banners, whether it's for winning the regular-season, or the tournament title.
