Maryland almost broke through to the final for the first time, but the Wolverines’ Tre Donaldson refused to let it happen. The blindingly fast guard inbounded the ball to teammate Vlad Goldin with 5.3 seconds left, got it back and raced 80 feet for a left-handed layup in heavy traffic that won it 81-80 at the buzzer.

But as the Wolverines have done all year long, somehow, some way, they found a way to win. This time, it was Tre Donaldson saving the day, scoring a coast-to-coast basket with less than a second left to give the Wolverines a win after they were trailing with less than five seconds to play.
