Previewing Michigan women’s basketball’s Sweet 16 game against Baylor

It’s time to officially welcome the Michigan women’s basketball team to the national stage.

Saturday afternoon, the sixth-seeded Wolverines will take on second-seeded Baylor in their first Sweet 16 game in program history.

Michigan has never been this far. All-time, it’s lost 106 more games than it’s won. Meanwhile, the Bears have won 93 percent of their games over the last 11 years, have won two national championships and have made the Sweet 16 every year during that span. Baylor is ... well, Baylor. Historically speaking, this is David vs. Goliath.

For the Wolverines to upset the Bears would send shockwaves throughout the entirety of the women’s college basketball world.
