Michigan basketball dominated Saint Louis, beating them 95-72. The Wolverines were the far more physical team, and they were unstoppable on offense. The Wolverines will play in Chicago on Friday against either Texas Tech or Alabama in the Sweet 16.
Arguably the biggest part of Michigan's dominance against Saint Louis was Yaxel Lendeborg. Michigan's first team All-American had 25 points, shooting 9/13. That's along with his usual elite defense. What doesn't show up on the stat sheet is how energizing Lendeborg's scoring is for the rest of the team.
Lendeborg makes big plays that give Michigan tons of momentum.
