What Went Down In The First Round Of The NCAA Tournament

Michigan takes the lead! Somewhere, our friend and former colleague Chris Herring is smiling.

Interesting game for Michigan’s Frankie Collins, who’s filling in for the injured DeVante’ Jones. He’s 5-for-5 from the floor (rest of team is 12-for-28), with a career-high 11 points, five rebounds and zero of Michigan’s 12 turnovers.

Dischon Thomas’s 15 points so far are more than his total from the previous five games combined (11). This marks his first double-figure scoring outing since Jan. 19 against New Mexico.
