The 18th-ranked Michigan women’s basketball team has made the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 the last two seasons and last year made program history reaching the Elite 8.
Michigan, ranked No. 18, finished the season 22-9, the 10th time in coach Kim Barnes Arico’s 11 seasons the Wolverines have had 20 or more victories. Now, they’re about to make their fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance — there was no postseason tournament in 2019-2020.
The Wolverines (22-9) are the No. 6 seed, the program’s second-highest seed, and will face No. 11 seed UNLV (31-2), which enters this first-round game on a 22-game winning streak, on Friday at Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
