Upset Alert: No. 11 Seed Michigan Stuns No. 3 Tennessee In The Second Round

Juwan Howard and the Michigan Wolverines are heading to the Sweet 16.

The No. 11 Wolverines stunned No. 3 Tennessee in the Second Round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament on Saturday evening.

Michigan trailed the Volunteers 37-32 at the half, but roared back in the final 20 minutes to win 76-68.

The Wolverines have advanced to the Sweet 16 where they’ll face the winner of Villanova vs. Ohio State.

That’s right. There’s a strong chance Michigan will play Ohio State in the Sweet 16. How fun would that be?

It’s a miracle the Wolverines made the Big Dance in the first place. They were on the bubble for over a month and had a disappointing showing in the Big Ten Tournament.

Thanks to the Big Ten’s overall strength, however, Michigan got into the tournament and earned the No. 11 seed.

In the First Round, the Wolverines fought through adversity to take down six-seeded Colorado State. A date with Tennessee in the Second Round proved daunting, but Michigan kept battling.

The Wolverines stormed back in the second half, like they did in the First Round, to get past Tennessee and advance to the Sweet 16.

Celebrate, Michigan fans. Your Wolverines are still dancing.
