Yellows Still Dancing:
The lone representative for yellow in the Sweet Sixteen hails from the Big Ten and calls their shade of yellow “maize.” The Michigan Wolverines are the 2-seed in the Midwest Region and have already taken down a gold school as well as an orange school (Texas). They’ll face another orange on Friday as they’ll look to get past the Volunteers en route to their second straight and 13th all-time Elite Eight appearance. The weird part about calling them a yellow school is the phrase you see posted on so many game day signs in support of their Wolverines. They say, “Go Blue!,” but after looking at their uniforms, it’s clear they’re embracing their yellow roots.
It’s pretty evident that Michigan is the best yellow school in the country.
