Michigan is making another NCAA tournament run.
The No. 11 Wolverines are in the Sweet 16 for the fifth consecutive NCAA men’s tournament after a 76-68 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the Midwest region.
The Volunteers had plenty of chances late in the second half, including on a made basket by Zakai Zeigler with 1:38 to go that left his hand a fraction of a second after the shot clock expired. Michigan led 68-64 at the time and was able to keep the Volunteers at bay over the final 98 seconds.
Center Hunter Dickinson had 27 points while Eli Brooks had 23 as the Wolverines overcame a five-point halftime deficit.
