Michigan has not made the NCAA's "Frozen Four" since 2008 when Red Berenson was still head coach. This is the team's first season without Berenson behind the bench -- he retired after 32 seasons as Wolverines head coach.
Head coach Mel Pearson is making a run for the championship in just his first season.
