25 as Michigan advances Lendeborg had 25 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 32 minutes during Saturday's 95-72 win over Saint Louis.

Impact Lendeborg had just nine points in the NCAA Tournament opener against Howard in which Dusty May went deeper into his bench, but he bounced back Saturday with a five-game scoring high. All five Michigan starters reached double figures in this Round of 32 matchup, but Lendeborg led the way with clutch second-half shooting that helped the Wolverines pull away. Michigan will next play the winner of Sunday's matchup between Texas Tech and Alabama in the Sweet Sixteen.
