Then, it completely lost that attention to detail and miscommunicated switches and had execution mistakes on almost every possession the last 10 mins. These stretches are the difference between the 30+ point wins earlier in the season and winning by ~10.

only 7 points in 9 transition possessions, which is well below their typical volume.

This is best illustrated by Michigan's (otherwise) elite 2-point defense
Michigan hasn't allowed an opponent to shoot over 47% on twos all season -- Wisconsin shot 56%

Yeah they used two in the first 4 mins of the 2nd half and another around the 2 minute mark so they were out. Can’t challenge without a TO
