Michigan players kept saying they were a different team than the one walloped by Louisville early in the regular season.
They were.
But in the end, the Wolverines just didn't have enough offensive firepower as they saw their magical NCAA Tournament run end in the Elite 8.
No. 1-seed Louisville defeated Michigan, a No. 3 seed, relying on a 10-0 run in the final minutes to win, 62-50, in the Wichita Regional final late Monday at Intrust Bank Arena. The Cardinals (29-4) will make its first Final Four appearance since 2018 and will face No. 1-seed South Carolina (33-2) in a national semifinal on Friday.
