Michigan MBB has been a thorn in the side of NJ teams for over 50 years.
Between 1965 and 1989, Michigan made it to the Final Four three times and each time they defeated a NJ school while there.
In 1964-65, they beat Bill Bradley's Princeton team in the semi-final by a score of 93-76. They then lost to UCLA in the final.
In 1975-76, they beat undefeated Rutgers 86-70 in the semi-final. They then lost to Indiana in the final.
In 1988-89, they beat Seton Hall 80-79 in overtime in the final to win their only national championship.
It was great to see RU finally beat them on Tuesday night! GO RU!
By the way, the 1976 NCAA Tournament is the only one in history to have two undefeated teams in the Final Four, Rutgers and Indiana.
