Posted on by

The Michigan Wolverines are returning to the NCAA Final Four.

Michigan will make the trip to San Antonio next week after defeating the Florida State Seminoles 58-54 on Saturday for the West Regional championship.

It is the second Final Four for Michigan and veteran coach John Beilein in the past six seasons.

The Wolverines reached the NCAA finals in 2013 before losing to the Louisville Cardinals.

After Saturday’s Round of Eight, two of the hottest teams in the nation are paired in the NCAA semifinals.

Loyola-Chicago will bring a 14-game winning streak to the Alamodome. Michigan has won 13 straight.

On Sunday, the final two teams will be decided.

Villanova and Texas Tech will play for one spot, while Kansas and Duke will meet for the other.

The semifinals are set for March 31. After a day off, the NCAA title game will be held on April 2.
