The student managers taped out a basketball court inside the Drake Hotel’s ballroom (a space that once hosted Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe) so Michigan could practice ahead of the Elite Eight.
It served as a backdrop for Risky Business and Mission: Impossible.
"Happy to carry the flag for all the managers, the GAs, the grunts, cause it's possible. It's tough but it's possible."

The moments of the Madness you don’t see on TV:
Michigan senior manager Ryan Levine making sure the national championship trophy makes it safely from the locker room to the bus
I asked Brad Underwood about the #Illini team managers and their impact:
"They're the most selfless people in this whole deal... They manage time better than anybody I know... They're all going to be very, very successful -- Love 'em to death, can't thank them enough."
Story on this coming up shortly on WCIA.
