The Wolverines are a strange bunch. Just a couple months ago, they looked to be no better than average, at best. But now they seem to have an aura of invincibility -- maybe.
The team that showed up in the first half of the national semi-final against Loyola/Chicago looked like they couldn't beat anybody.
Yet the team that came out in the second half, particularly after a few minutes into it, had transformed into world beaters. Down by 10 and wind up winning by 12? That's really impressive stuff.
So now the question becomes --- which team will show up on Monday night against what looks to be Villanova at the time of this writing (they're clobbering Kansas by 15 at halftime).
If Team A shows up for the Wolverines, they'll get run out of the gym by the Wildcats (or Kansas, if they pull off a huge comeback).
But if Team B comes to play, UM's got a more than a decent shot of walking out of San Antonio as national champions.
And, as mentioned above, just a couple months ago, nobody, I mean NOBODY would have thought it possible.
Only one way to find out.
Bring it on.
