No. 11 seed Michigan Wolverines basketball and No. 3 seed Tennessee will battle for a Sweet 16 berth. The Wolverines have alternated wins and losses for 11 straight games, while Tennessee has won 13 of 14. Michigan came back to beat Colorado State, 75-63, Thursday, and the Volunteers handled Longwood, 88-56. The Volunteers have one of the nation's top defenses that forces a lot of steals, blocks a lot of shot and pressures the ball. They're also a stellar three-point shooting team that has hit 42.6 percent of its triple tries over the last 14 games. For more on the Volunteers, TheWolverine.com caught up with Volunteer insider Dan Harralson of VolsWire, who provides some insight on the team he covers and made a final score prediction.
