March 15, 2009: The doors to Crisler Arena were open for a Selection Sunday that ended an 11-year NCAA Tournament drought for the Michigan Basketball team. The 10th seeded Wolverines with a record of 20-13 headed to Kansas City and would go on to defeat Clemson before falling to Elite 8 bound Oklahoma in the 2nd round. North Carolina defeated Michigan State in the NCAA Finals that year at Ford Field. Michigan State has not returned to the final game since.
