Yaxel Lendeborg, a forward for the Michigan basketball team, has claimed that his team may be the best of all time following their 90-77 Sweet 16 victory over Alabama. The comments were made during a sideline interview following the game. Former NBAer and fellow Michigan alum Jalen Rose, who was part of the "Fab Five" squads of the early 1990s, also commented on the team's performance, suggesting that if they win the NCAA Tournament, they would be in discussions with Michigan's 1989 championship-winning squad for the greatest in program history. The Wolverines are now set to face either Tennessee or Iowa State in an Elite Eight match on Sunday.
