Michigan was one of the last teams to make the field of 68 for this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament. Now, the Wolverines are the first to punch their tickets into the second round.
The No. 11 seed used a fierce second-half comeback on Thursday to take down Colorado State, turning up the defensive pressure to score a 75–63 win. Michigan outscored the Rams 46–27 in the second half after trailing by seven at the break.
