Michigan Headed To Final Four For The First Time Since The Fab Five


During the Sweet 16 at Cowboys Stadium it appeared Michigan would be going home and Kansas would be moving on to the Elite 8. Not so fast, Player Of The Year sophomore Trey Burke saved the day. Michigan came back from a late 2nd half double digit deficit to defeat Kansas. Burke snailed a 30 foot 3 pointer with a few seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. In the Elite 8 the Wolverines led from start to finish and defeat Florida. Michigan led by Burke also have solid players in Tim Hardaway Jr. and Glenn Robinson III. Now off to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta to face Syracuse for a right to play in the National Championship Game. Michigan last appeared in the 1993 Final Four beating Kentucky before losing to North Carolina in the Championship Game. That would be the final game the Fab Five would all play together. New Orleans witnessed Chris Webber call the game changing timeout for Michigan, which UNC rode to the finish line. 20 years have past and the Wolverines are back in the Final Four !
