Christian Watford started strong Thursday night. His finishing kick could still use a little polish. The guy who beat No. 1 Kentucky with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer missed a free throw with 2.9 seconds left, then held his breath until Michigan's desperation heave bounced high off the backboard to give No. 12 Indiana a 73-71 victory over the Wolverines (No. 13 ESPN/USA Today, No. 16 AP).
