Northwestern completed a layup following a full-court pass in the final 1.7 seconds of its game against Michigan Wednesday night to steal one at home, 67-65.

Following a Zak Irvin missed three-pointer, the Wildcats got the ball back with just over a second remaining to play. Nathan Taphorn threw a full-court heave to Derek Pardon and the center did the rest, putting the Wolverines down for the night.

With the win, the Wildcats improved to 21–9 on the season, potentially giving the team it's first tournament birth in school history.
