The 2021-22 Michigan Wolverines women’s basketball team is advancing to the Sweet Sixteen for the second season in a row, beating the 11-seeded Villanova Wildcats, 64-49. With the win, they are a perfect 16-0 when playing at the Crisler Center on the season.
It was a fairly back-and-forth game for the opening three quarters, but the Wolverines were able to use a 10-0 run — from the end of the third quarter to the first few minutes of the fourth quarter — and stellar play in the paint to survive and advance to the next round.
