Recap

Michigan's defense suffocated Louisville in the Regional Semifinal at Dickies Arena, turning a sluggish start into a dominant tournament statement. Trailing 25-14 early, the Wolverines refused to panic. A devastating 16-2 run in the second quarter flipped the script at 30-25, and Michigan never looked back. The Cardinals went ice-cold from the field, managing just 50 consecutive plays without a bucket as the Wolverines seized control. The onslaught continued in period three when Michigan unleashed a crushing 20-2 run to build a commanding 57-40 lead—their largest advantage of 23 points. Louisville never mounted a serious comeback threat. Ally VanTimmeren put the finishing touch on the 71-52 victory with a clutch hook shot under a minute remaining, sending No. 2 seed Michigan dancing deeper into the tournament with a statement defensive performance that will strike fear into every remaining opponent.
