Now, the internet is debating whether or not this Michigan team is the best of all-time:
We had more talent this year in college basketball arguably than any year in history.
Michigan was the clear best team this year, beating every team in the tournament comfortably.
In light of that context, they have to be in the conversation as one of the greatest ever.

Michigan is absolutely one of the best teams of all time. By every metric. They won games every way possible. They were dominant against great teams. The numbers don’t lie. https://t.co/WuKSvAy8oT
