The Michigan Wolverines and No. 23 Wisconsin Badgers will battle Sunday afternoon in Washington for the Big Ten Tournament title.

Where: Verizon Center in Washington D.C.

Game notes: This will be the fourth game in four days for both teams. Michigan, ranked No. 8 in the tournament, has taken down No. 9 Illinois, No. 1 Purdue and No. 4 Minnesota. Because Wisconsin had the No. 1 seed, this is only their second game in two days, beating No. 10 Indiana and No. 6 Northwestern. On Wednesday, a plane carrying the Michigan basketball team slid off the runway at Willow Run Airport, forcing the team to fly in for Thursday's game that morning and play in their practice uniforms.

This is Michigan's first Big Ten Tournament Championship game since losing to Michigan State in 2014. They look to get their first tournament championship since 1998, which the team vacated. This is Wisconsin's first appearance in the championship since winning it in 2015. They are looking for their fourth championship.
