Michigan is headed to the Sweet Sixteen and will face No. 2 seed Villanova in San Antonio on Thursday night (7:15 ET, TBS). The Wolverines are 4.5 point underdogs against the 28-7 Wildcats, who finished second in the Big East but won the conference tournament.
The Wildcats are ranked 11th nationally and are on track to finish in KenPom’s top-30 for the ninth consecutive season. Their six-man rotation features three fifth-year players, a senior, junior, and one sophomore — most of whom played vital roles on last year’s team.
