This might be a good time for Michigan to shake a troubling trend.
Michigan (18-14) alternated wins and losses in their last 11 games entering Saturday's second-round NCAA Tournament game against Tennessee in Indianapolis. Coming off a comeback victory over Colorado State in its first-round game, the No. 11 seed Wolverines are seeking their first back-to-back victories since Jan. 26 and, more importantly, a berth in the Sweet Sixteen.
It won't come easy.
The third-seeded Volunteers (27-7) entered the tournament among the hottest teams in the country, winners of eight in a row after an 88-56 victory over Longwood in their tournament opener, and 13 of their last 14.
