Michigan joins exclusive club with win over Tennessee
Michigan is off to the Sweet 16 with its thrilling upset win over No. 3-seed Tennessee. It’s the fifth-straight trip to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the Wolverines. That puts U-M in an exclusive club.
Since 1985, Michigan is 1 of only 5 schools to make 5-straight trips to the Sweet 16. U-M is in the company of traditional blue bloods Duke, UNC and Kansas as well as a recent perennial contender Gonzaga. It goes to show just how hard it is to win multiple March Madness games.
