Michigan Wolverines took care of business in round one of the NCAA tournament against Colorado State, and the maize and blue had to face the Tennessee Volunteers in the round of 32 on Saturday evening.
The Wolverines have had a bad streak of winning a game and losing the next since February 10th — could that streak end?
The Wolverines got out to a quick start by taking a quick eight-point lead, but then the Volunteers came to life and started playing tough defense, and started hitting some shots. It was a back-and-forth half, but Tennessee went on a little run to end the first half and took a 37-32 lead going into halftime.
Devante’ Jones got ruled out of the game during halftime, and it was Frankie Collins’ show to run entering the second half. The Wolverines ‘grit and grind’ their way in the second half, and Michigan finally re-took the lead with three minutes left in the game by going on a 10-4 run. Eli Brooks and Hunter Dickinson remained huge the entire game by getting buckets when Michigan absolutely needed them — like a hook shot from Eli Brooks late in the second half.
The Wolverines were able to out-last the highly-rated Tennessee Volunteers by pulling off the upset, 76-68. Michigan is Sweet-16 bound once again — for the fifth-straight time.
