Plays through injury Lendeborg totaled 13 points (4-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 36 minutes during Monday's 69-63 victory over UConn.

Impact It wasn't the best shooting day for Lendeborg, who had to play through both knee and ankle injuries, but he still managed to be the second-leading scorer on what was overall a down day for the Wolverines offensively. It was still enough to win the title, as Michigan had clutch free-throw shooting late that allowed the Wolverines to keep their cushion. Barring legislation or another legal loophole that pops up, Lendeborg will finish his collegiate career as a National Champion.
