The Wolverines finished their regular season with an overall record of 22-9 and ranked at No. 18. Their Big Ten Tournament run bowed out in the quarterfinals with a two-point loss to the No. 14 Ohio State Buckeyes. The Lady Rebels meanwhile finished their regular season with an overall record of 31-2 — including 22 straight victories — and a sweep of the Mountain West regular season and tournament championships.
This is Michigan’s sixth appearance in the NCAA Tournament under head coach Kim Barnes Arico, with their first coming in Arico’s debut season. Their deepest run came last season, when the Wolverines made it as far as the Elite Eight before bowing out to Louisville.
