Ann Arbor — Michigan senior All-American Naz Hillmon, who has helped take the program to new heights, took her final bow at Crisler Center — the House that Nazzi built, her coach said — with a dominant performance to help send the Wolverines to their second straight Sweet Sixteen.
Hillmon scored a game-high 27 points as the Wolverines defeated Villanova 64-49 in a second-round NCAA Tournament game Monday night before a rowdy home crowd.
No. 3-seed Michigan (24-6) advances to the Wichita Regional where it will play South Dakota Saturday at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas.
