It may be a new season, but the loss in the National Championship game still lingers in Ann Arbor from last April in San Antonio Texas.
Michigan found themselves ahead of Villanova 21-14 midway through the first half but eventually squandered the lead and were never able to figure it out offensively after that in a 79-62 loss.
Now, U-M has a shot at revenge.
The No. 18 Wolverines (2-0) will have a rematch with No. 8 UV (2-0) at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 14 in the Finneran Pavilion. It is apart of the 2018 Gavitt Games which is an eight-game series between the Big Ten and Big East.
