Well, we knew this would be the case. A week-and-a-half break would drain the momentum out of the No. 3 seed Michigan Wolverines after they were the hottest team in the nation on March 4.
They started sluggish against the No. 14 seeded Montana Grizzlies, down 10-0 to start the game, but regained their groove a bit in a 61-47 win.
Michigan will now play the No. 6 Houston Cougars in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at 9:40 p.m. EST on Saturday in Wichita, Kansas.
Here’s what you need to know heading into tomorrow night’s matchup.
