Michigan needs production from bench to make deeper postseason run

After a rollercoaster of a regular season, the Michigan Wolverines finally put together two good performances in a row, beating Colorado State and Tennessee en route to the school’s fifth consecutive Sweet 16 appearance.

The Wolverines have another tall task ahead of them on Thursday against a Villanova squad that’s been one of the most efficient teams in the country. In order for Michigan to not only win that game but also future games in the NCAA Tournament, it’ll need consistent production from the second unit so there’s no drop off when the starters need a rest.
