The Michigan Wolverines advanced to the next round of the Big Ten NCAA Tournament following a dominant 11-1 victory over Colgate. Michigan has an opportunity to advance to its second straight Frozen Four and has a clear, albeit familiar, path to the National Championship.
To say the Big Ten was dominant in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament would be an understatement. The four Big Ten teams (Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Minnesota) outscored their opponents by a combined score of 36-4, and a maximum of three could advance to the Frozen Four.
