Michigan is headed back to the Final Four for the first time since 2018 after delivering a dominant 95-62 win over Tennessee in the NCAA tournament on Sunday.
Yaxel Lendeborg led the way with 27 points as the Wolverines controlled the game from start to finish, turning the regional final into a runaway. Michigan’s offense was sharp throughout, consistently finding quality looks and building a lead that Tennessee couldn’t threaten.
Elliot Cadeau orchestrated the attack with 10 assists, keeping Michigan’s pace and ball movement humming as the Wolverines repeatedly converted possessions into points. The combination of Lendeborg’s scoring and Cadeau’s playmaking helped Michigan separate early and extend the margin as the game progressed.
