Lendeborg's 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds remaining gave top-seeded Michigan a 68-65 victory over Wisconsin in Saturday's Big Ten Tournament semifinals at United Center in Chicago. Michigan will face either No. 6 seed UCLA or No. 7 seed Purdue in Sunday's championship.

The Wolverines (31-2) and Badgers (24-10) traded 3-pointers in the final minute, with Nick Boyd knotting the game at 65 with a 26-footer with 29 seconds left. That set up Lendeborg's winner, which came from a pass from Elliot Cadeau, who took to the dribble to the baseline in front of the Michigan bench before kicking it out to Lendeborg, who drained the 3-pointer from 24 feet.

Lendeborg, in his first season at Michigan after transferring from UAB, finished with 12 points. He knocked down a pair of 3-pointers, and added five rebounds. The victory avenged one of two losses by the Wolverines in the regular season, a 91-88 setback on Jan. 10 in Ann Arbor.
