Michigan survived two ugly NCAA Tournament games in Wichita, KS last week. The Wolverines had to wait out long afternoons while waiting to play the final game of the evening and needed a Jordan Poole buzzer beater to survive. But the Wolverines advanced and are now the highest seeded team on the left side of the bracket and just need to win two more games to advance to San Antonio.
Here are five things we learned in Wichita.

Still to come
