Michigan has advanced to the Final Four after defeating Tennessee 95-62 to win the Midwest Regional and advance to the next round. Despite the team's progress, there are concerns about Dusty May's potential departure to North Carolina. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel is tasked with keeping May, who has built arguably the most talented roster in the country with six former top-50 recruits in high school and one five-star transfer. The team's unselfish style of basketball is praised by May and its defense is praised for avoiding the use of isolation and passing down the ball with space and passing.

Despite this, the team has won four NCAA games and is averaging 22.5 points on the score sheet this season.
