San Antonio — The last time Villanova and Michigan crossed paths in the NCAA Tournament in Texas, the Wolverines were left heartbroken.
Four years later in the same city, second-seeded Villanova left No. 11 seed Michigan with a similar sinking feeling.
The Wolverines’ season and stay in the Big Dance came crashing to an end once again at the hands of the Wildcats in a 63-55 Sweet 16 loss on Thursday at the AT&T Center.
Sophomore center Hunter Dickinson finished with 15 points on 16 shots with 15 rebounds and fifth-year senior guard Eli Brooks scored 14 for Michigan (19-15), which turned in one of its worst offensive outings of the season at the worst time.
