After Kansas defeated North Carolina on Monday night in the national title game, the college basketball season has officially come to a close.
The Michigan Wolverines ended the season with a 19-15 record, and while the regular season didn’t go as planned — the Wolverines sneaked into the NCAA Tournament as a No. 11 seed — the maize and blue managed to make it to a fifth-straight Sweet 16. The Wolverines lost to Villanova 63-55 in the round of 16.
With the season concluding, the final Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA Today was released on Tuesday. Kansas was ranked No. 1 followed by North Carolina at No. 2.
Michigan ended up grabbing the final spot at No. 25 on the list.
The Big Ten had five teams in the final ranking. Purdue was the highest at No. 10, Wisconsin was at No. 18, Illinois fell to No. 19, Iowa finished at No. 21, and Michigan landed at No. 25.
Michigan State, Ohio State, and Rutgers were all receiving votes to be in the top 25.
