Michigan will play for national championship after leaving Arizona in the dust
It's Michigan vs. UConn for the national championship on Monday night.
Indianapolis — What was expected to be heavyweight showdown between two No. 1 seeds didn’t quite live up to the billing. Rather, Michigan delivered a 40-minute pounding and throttled Arizona from start to finish – and did so without having Yaxel Lendeborg much of the first half.
The Wolverines ran the Wildcats off the floor at Lucas Oil Stadium and added the latest chapter in their season of dominance with a wire-to-wire 91-73 rout on Saturday. BOX SCORE: Michigan 91, Arizona 73 More: Michigan gets commitment from five-star point guard Brandon McCoy Jr. Aday Mara had a career-high 26 points and Lendeborg, who played just five minutes in the first half due to foul trouble and an injury, had 11 points for Michigan (36-3), which advanced to the NCAA Tournament final for the first time since 2018 and eighth time in program history.
Trey McKenney scored 16 and made four of Michigan’s 12 3-pointers and Elliot Cadeau added 13 points and 10 assists for an offense that shot 47. 8% from the field. Michigan will face No.
2 seed UConn in the national championship game at 8:50 p. m. Monday.
