How sweet is that? Now hopefully UM will continue this level of success in the NCAA tournament. Based on the team’s top seed and the fact that Wisconsin made it to the tourney (and was placed in the Madison, WI regional), UM will play in the East regional and should come out of that regional. It’s obviously not a lock or anything like that, but it’s certainly in the Wolverines’ favor.

I must admit I cracked a smile in the press box when I saw the players pile on top of each other when that buzzer rang ending the game and it was great to see Michigan going to the rafters of the Joe for the second time this season. Hopefully, they will be raising a certain National Championship banner to the rafters of Yost Ice Arena this season. Go Blue!
