"Michigan reconfirmed its status as a national championship contender under second-year coach Dusty May, and a group of transfer stars headlined by forward Yaxel Lendeborg, the best player during the Midwest regional."
"Lendeborg, a UAB transfer who won Big Ten Player of the Year honors in his first season at Michigan, led the way with 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists and no turnovers."
"Mara had 11 points, four rebounds and two blocks, while Cadeau had a game-high 10 assists and became the first Big Ten player to record seven or more assists in four consecutive NCAA tournament games since former Wolverines guard Trey Burke in 2013."
Michigan Wolverines, after a disappointing previous season, have made a remarkable turnaround under coach Dusty May. They secured a spot in the Final Four by defeating Tennessee 95-62, led by transfer Yaxel Lendeborg, who scored 27 points. This victory marks their 35th win of the season, setting a new single-season record. The team aims for its first national title since 1989 and will face Arizona in the semifinals. Other key contributions came from transfers Aday Mara and Elliot Cadeau, enhancing the team's performance.
