INDIANAPOLIS — Four years ago, a gangly Moe Wagner sat on a German bus watching Michigan lose to Louisville for the national title.
On Sunday, he exacted some revenge.
Michigan’s sophomore center broke out of his slump in a massive way, carrying No. 7 seed Michigan to the Sweet 16, edging the No. 2-seeded Cardinals, 73-69, in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
The win vaults Michigan (26-11) to a Thursday matchup with No. 3 seed Oregon or No. 11 Rhode Island in Kansas City, marking the Wolverines’ third Sweet 16 appearance since 2013.
