The tourney crown marks Michigan's ninth and gives the Wolverines the Big Ten's automatic berth to the NCAA tournament.
Michigan beat two-time defending tournament champ Indiana, second-seeded Iowa, top-seeded Illinois and Maryland on its way to capturing the event and making its 22nd NCAA tourney.
The final, originally scheduled for 2 p.m. ET, was moved up to 10 a.m. due to the threat of rain in Minneapolis.
