DES MOINES, Iowa – After three weeks of disappointment.
After losing a chance to win a share of the Big Ten championship.
After losing in the Big Ten Tournament championship.
After losing against Michigan State three straight times.
After all the gut punches and soul searching and drooping heads, feeling as if the season was over.
Michigan was searching for a new life in the NCAA tournament. A fresh start. And that is exactly what the Wolverines found against undersized Montana, ripping off a 74-55 win on Thursday night.
