Although it ended in disaster, Michigan fans turned out to thank their team for a remarkable season.
For Michigan Wolverine fans, tonight was a disaster of unmitigated proportions.
The National Championship game began tight, but, all of a sudden, Villanova, the nation’s highest-scoring team, began to rain threes from the Alamodome heavens and forced Michigan into a heady retreat.
It was a sad night, no doubt about it, but no one expected Michigan to even be in the National Championship game, and that, in itself, is an accomplishment of the highest order. So, instead of putting on a sour face, Wolverine fans have turned to Twitter to congratulate their team for a remarkable year.
Here is a snapshot of that humbleness.
Well get ‘em next year! #MichiganBasketball #NationalChampionshipGame

Even though Michigan didn’t win I’m still so proud of them. Forever proud to be a Wolverine. We’ll get them next year. #GoBlue #FinalFour #MichiganVsEverybody #MichiganBasketball #MichiganWolverines
