Michigan vs UConn: Live updates and in-game analysis
Michigan and UConn face off in the national championship game. Follow live updates as both teams battle for the title.
This is it, everything that Michigan basketball has been working for. Everything any team works for, hopes for, dreams for. It's the national championship game, and the 1-seed Wolverines are set to face 2-seed UConn, a team that has won two of the previous three national championships.
Michigan enters as the KenPom No. 1 team, while Connecticut is No. 9.
The maize and blue have run roughshod over every team it has faced in the NCAA Tournament, but with the Huskies being 6-0 in national championship games and having a 2-1 advantage over Michigan, the seeming disparity between teams this season must be discounted. Both teams have injured star players: Yaxel Lendeborg for Michigan (ankle, knee) and Solo Ball for UConn. Whoever wins on Monday night will simply be known as national champions.
