The 2024-25 season was a moderate success for the Michigan Wolverines women’s basketball team, finishing tied for fourth in the Big Ten and making it to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines have appeared in the Big Dance in every (non-cancelled) postseason since 2017-18, but with only two second-weekend trips during that stretch, there is still some room for growth.
Kim Barnes Arico is hoping the team can make that jump in the 2025-26 campaign, and there is good reason to believe so. Way-too-early rankings have Michigan on the cusp of being a Sweet 16 squad, and the evidence on paper looks good.
