ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The mood inside Michigan's Crisler Center media room late Saturday afternoon was equally reflective and forward-looking.

Michigan had beaten rival Ohio State and won the Big Ten East. The division title didn't come as a surprise, given the strong roster the Wolverines returned in 2023, but it continued a historic season. This was the first time Michigan had beaten its rival three straight times since 1997, the program's last national championship season.
