E.J. Liddell tallied 13 of his 18 points in the second half to help the fifth-seeded Buckeyes (21-8) reach the Big Ten title game for the first time since 2013. Ohio State faces second-seeded Illinois (ranked No. 3) in Sunday’s title game.
Hunter Dickinson recorded 21 points and eight rebounds and Eli Brooks added 12 points for the top-seeded Wolverines (20-4), who made a late surge that fell short when Mike Smith’s 3-pointer caromed off the rim with under two seconds remaining. Smith scored 10 points but was just 1-of-11 shooting.

San Diego State followed up its regular season MWC title with a 68-57 win in the conference tournament championship game to double up and, although they didn t need it, earn an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
SDSU led 28-24 at the break after a bad shooting half by both teams (combined 37% from the floor). The Aztecs opened the 2nd half with a mini 6-0 run punctuated by a thunderous alley-oop dunk from Trey Pulliam to Nathan Mensah that pumped the lead up to 10 and then they just held serve.
Over the final 18 minutes the Aztecs lead never got higher than 11 or lower than six. SDSU was led by Mitchell s 14 points but they showed off the kind of depth that could make them a nightmare in the NCAA Tournament.
