Led by Hunter Dickinson with 21 points on an efficient 8-of-10 shooting among four players with double-digit totals, the No. 11 seed University of Michigan men’s basketball team overcame a first-half deficit on Thursday (March 17) to rally past No. 6 seed Colorado State, 75-63, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The victory was Michigan’s 22nd in the tournament since 2013, more than any other team in the nation during that timeframe. The Wolverines now await the winner of the No. 3 seed Tennessee vs. No. 14 seed Longwood matchup Thursday afternoon.
