After an emotional game against LSU last week in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Michigan basketball had a tough task on its hands in the Sweet 16 against 4-seed Florida State. Given that the Seminoles have been a tough team with a lot of length, they were a frequent upset pick going into the game on Sunday.
So how would the maize and blue fare?
The Wolverines controlled the game early, taking an 11-point lead into the half, so all the maize and blue would have to do is hold on in the second. But Florida State quickly got back into it, cutting the deficit to just 5 points relatively early in the half. How would Michigan basketball respond?
Quite favorably, as it turns out. Michigan went on a big run, pulling away and essentially ending the game with 10 minutes left. The Wolverines beat the Seminoles, 76-58.
Here are our five takeaways from the game.
