<p>For the third year in a row, Ohio State has sent Michigan packing in the Big Ten tournament. This year, the Buckeyes didn't need to stave off a late rally or rely on a buzzer beat. They flat out pounded Michigan and won 77-55. It was ugly from the very beginning, and Michigan had no answers for the Buckeyes.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145685/trey-burke">Trey Burke</a> picked a bad day to have the worst game of his career. One day after setting a career high against Minnesota, Burke was held to five points. To make matters worse for Burke, who shot 1-for-11 from the field, he turned the ball over a career-high eight times.</p>
<p>In addition to struggling on offense (Michigan shot a dismal 30.1 percent from the field), the Wolverines had no answer on defense for <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124094/jared-sullinger">Jared Sullinger</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124095/deshaun-thomas">Deshaun Thomas</a>. Sullinger especially dominated the Wolverines by scoring 24 points and having his way in the paint. Thomas added 22 points, and Ohio State got 10 points from <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52369/william-buford">William Buford</a>.</p>
<p>Ohio State now advances to the Big Ten tournament championship game for the fourth year in a row. There, the Buckeyes will take on Michigan State for the second time in a week. The Buckeyes <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/michigan-st-spartans/2012/3/4/2844693/ohio-state-michigan-st-game-big-10-standings">stunned Michigan State in East Lansing</a> a week ago to<a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/michigan-st-spartans/2012/2/28/2832095/big-ten-standings-2012-michigan-state-basketball"> earn a share of the Big Ten title</a>, and now the Spartans have a chance for revenge with the Big Ten tournament title on the line.</p>
<p>As for the Wolverines, they will now wait for Selection Sunday to see where they are headed in the NCAA tournament. A No. 3 seed seems likely, and the Wolverines <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/michigan-wolverines/2012/3/10/2860133/ncaa-bracketology-2012-michigan-state-basketball">could very well end up being placed in Columbus</a> for the second and third round, although the ugly loss on Saturday will certainly do them no favors.</p>

<p>With a chance to advance to the Big Ten title game against the Michigan State Spartans, the Michigan Wolverines are did just about everything wrong against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the first half on Saturday. Despite being out of sorts, they're lucky to be down by only 13 points, 34-21. </p>
<p>Michigan had eight turnovers in the first half and only seven baskets. They were 1-for-13 from three-point range and shot 28-percent overall. The starting five for Michigan was a combined 5-for-20. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145685/trey-burke">Trey Burke</a>, who scored a career high 30 points last night, was 0-for-5. </p>
<p>Michigan does not have an answer for <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124094/jared-sullinger">Jared Sullinger</a>, either -- he had 16 points on 8-for-10 shooting and six rebounds.</p>
<p>Again, Michigan is lucky to be down 13. Maybe they can get going in the second half and still squeak one out. </p>

<p>For the third year in a row, Michigan and Ohio State are squaring off in the Big Ten tournament. This year's matchup will be for a spot in the title game against either Wisconsin or Michigan State.</p> <p>For the third straight year, Michigan and Ohio State will square off in the Big Ten tournament. In both 2010 and 2011, Ohio State beat Michigan in Indianapolis to end the Wolverines' run in the Big Ten tournament. Last year, <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/michigan-wolverines/2011/3/12/2046525/big-ten-tournament-bracket-2011-michigan-basketball-ohio-state">Ohio State won 68-61</a> in the semifinals. A year earlier, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/26678/evan-turner">Evan Turner</a> hit a three-pointer from near center court at the buzzer to give Ohio State a 69-68 win over Michigan in the quarterfinals.</p>
<p>This year's game between Michigan and Ohio State in Indy is once again a matchup in the semifinals. It comes after <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/michigan-wolverines/2012/3/9/2858743/big-ten-tournament-bracket-2012-michigan-basketball/in/2602576">Michigan beat Minnesota in overtime</a> by a score of 73-69 on Friday and <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/2012/3/10/2859165/big-10-tournament-bracket-2012-ohio-state-purdue-michigan-basketball/in/2602576">Ohio State dominated Purdue</a> en route to an 88-71 victory in the quarterfinals.</p>
<p>During the regular season, Michigan and Ohio State split their series. Ohio State won the game against Michigan in Columbus 64-49. The Wolverines returned the favor with a 56-51 victory on Feb. 18 at home against the Buckeyes with ESPN's College GameDay in attendance.</p>
<p>Michigan is looking for its first appearance in the Big Ten tournament championship game since the very first edition of this event back in 1998. That title has since been vacated by Michigan, but Robert Traylor led the Wolverines to a win over Purdue in the first ever Big Ten tournament title game.</p>
<p>Ohio State, on the other hand, is looking to continue its Big Ten tournament winning streak. The Buckeyes have won the last two titles and seven straight games in the tournament. The Buckeyes have also been to three straight finals. If they beat Michigan, Ohio State will advance to its eighth Big Ten tournament championship game. Ohio State has won four Big Ten tournament titles, although the one in 2002 was vacated.</p>
<p>Saturday's semifinal between Michigan and Ohio State will begin 25 minutes (approximately 4:05 p.m. ET) after the end of <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/michigan-st-spartans/2012/3/10/2859662/big-ten-tournament-2012-michigan-state-vs-wisconsin">Michigan State vs. Wisconsin</a>.

<p>The No. 2 seed Michigan Wolverines survived a possible early exit from the Big Ten Tournament with an exciting <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/michigan-wolverines/2012/3/9/2858743/big-ten-tournament-bracket-2012-michigan-basketball/in/2602576">overtime win over Minnesota</a> in the quarterfinals on Friday.
