How to Watch: NCAA Tournament Final Four
We’re down to 4.
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - MARCH 29: Nimari Burnett #4 of the Michigan Wolverines lifts the Midwest Regional Championship trophy after the game against the Tennessee Volunteers in the Elite Eight of the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at the United Center on March 29, 2026 in Chicago, Illinois.

What’s interesting is it looks like of the top 10 brackets, 7 have Arizona winning it all, one has UConn, one had Duke (sorry Nathan! ), and Sammy picked Michigan. So the guy who set the challenge up could win it if Michigan beats Arizona tonight.
In 19th place is the highest rated Illinois pick (bold choice in this fan group), so an outside shot but not out of the running. These two games feature two teams who have clearly been at the top of the game all season long in Michigan and Arizona. The Wolverines are the top team in KenPom, EvanMiya, BartTorvik, but Arizona is tops in the AP Poll (and second in all those metrics).
Michigan has the country’s best defense, while Arizona is #2. The Wolverines have the nation’s 5th best offense, Arizona is #4. This is an elite matchup, and both teams are relentless.
