Takeaways from Michigan’s Sweet 16 loss to Villanova

It’s understandable to be conflicted about how this season went for the 2021-22 Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball team.

On one hand, after starting the year ranked in the preseason top-10, they were unranked most of the year, couldn’t score for large stretches and had more than a few ugly losses. They had so much talent and couldn’t put at all together for significant portions of the year.

On the other hand, they still got the wins they needed late in the season and made their fifth consecutive Sweet Sixteen before losing to a really good Villanova team.
