We’ve got a bit more bad news to deliver here, gang. The Michigan Wolverines, after receiving an at-large bid to get into the NCAA Tournament and being slated to kick things off with a game this afternoon against Minnesota Duluth, have been removed from the tournament due to a positive COVID test in their Tier 1 group. UMD will be given a no contest and advance to the semi-final.
And this, it goes without saying, is a really tough blow for a team that, outside of a two-week shutdown of the entire university’s athletics program, remained unscathed by COVID related issues.
