Michigan’s NCAA Tournament streak is officially over.
For the first time since 2015, the Wolverines didn’t hear their name called on Selection Sunday and were left out of the 68-team field.
It snapped a string of six straight tournament appearances — a run that included five consecutive Sweet 16s — and marked the first time Michigan won’t go dancing under coach Juwan Howard.
Michigan’s omission wasn’t a surprise. It was expected due to the team’s 17-15 record and lacking resume that featured no signature wins against ranked opponents, a horrific home loss to Central Michigan, several unimpressive victories over non-Power Five competition and a bunch of narrow defeats to Power Five foes.
