All aboard the Michigan hype train. And by all aboard, I mean all.
Even legendary player and CBS analyst Charles Barkley has started singing the praises of the Wolverines, despite riding the Arizona wagon throughout the tournament.
As Michigan absolutely dominated the Tennessee Volunteers in their Elite Eight meeting, Barkley summed up the emotions of every Wolverine fan across the country.
"Arizona, we gotta be ready next Saturday. We got our hands full next Saturday," Barkley said. "I'm all in on Arizona, but we're going to have our damn hands full because them boys, they are impressive."
At halftime, Michigan had already built an astonishing deficit for the Vols, earning a 48-26 lead in the first 20 minutes.
Charles Barkley might switch his allegiance from Wildcats to Wolverines
Barkley fully believed that the game was pretty much wrapped and tied with a bow by halftime, going as far as to tell Tennessee fans to move on from the season and look forward to football.
"Tennessee can't come back this is a wrap. Get ready for spring football," Barkley said.
Michigan was firing on all cylinders, from Dusty May coaching out of his mind to Yaxel Lendeborg playing his best ball to every other Wolverine stepping up to the challenge.
With a win over Tennessee, the Wolverines would move on to the Final Four, where they would face none other than the Arizona Wildcats (Barkley's choice to win it all).
As the NCAA Tournament has unfolded, people across the board have let their attentions stray from the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils to the Wolverines and the Wildcats as Arizona and Michigan have emerged as the two most dominant teams in the Big Dance.
The Final Four is scheduled to tip off on Saturday, April 4, with the games determining who would advance to the National Championship, scheduled for Monday, April 6.
