Shoutout to your 2026 national champions, the refs! Lots of bad/missed calls but thats what is bound to happen in such a physical game. Defense was AMAZING by both teams throughout the whole game. Definitely a lot of missed freebies but there were complex sets and movement to get open shots from both sides. The only reason this game was remotely close was because of UConn’s transition defense and controlling of the pace. Dan Hurley is one of a kind. Dusty May will be one of the greats as well. Can’t believe we won’t have cbb until the fall… 2026 season was amazing!

Gritty, grindy, rugged, whatever adjective you want to use, it probably fits. Point is: game was not pretty and full of hustle. Although the final result was up in the air after the 1st half, one thing was clear. This was Cadeau’s legacy game. He came out smoking. The kid was doing everything. Hitting shots, making tough layups, districting the ball and he even had a chase down block. UConn refused to go away so Roddy Gayle sent a message with a put back dunk over Tarris Reed. That message read “WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF YOU”. Michigan lived up to those words in the start of the 2nd half. Cadeau fittingly hit Michigan’s first 3 as the culmination of a run that gave them the first double digit lead of the game. The defense was certainly not boring with all the emphatic blocks. They built up a lead and made UConn desperate. The Huskies were up to the task, but one sequence sealed it. 2 minutes to go, Karaban hit a deep 3 to cut the deficit to 6. After a wild sequence, McKenney hit a 3 back.

Gained a full point in the final minute from that chaotic sequence…if Karaban hits that 3…Michigan was superior plain and simple. UConn was fighting for their lives the entire game while Michigan was tripping over themselves and still getting and 1s. They were incredible at the FT line too until the very end. Well Deserved for Dusty May - first ever 5 starter all-transfer championship team. That’s the NIL in a nutshell.

Michigan did something that was on the cards. I hate, and want to point out this is an example of, when teams are thought as the former years roster. This wasn’t an upset, many people knew this wasn’t upset, but I remember this being marketed as one. I’m very happy to see Connecticut lose, game was alright, just another one seed so, not much for us to really celebrate big on. Another March Madness enjoyed by many! They don’t end amazingly all the time, but we have fun here.

While the score of this game didn't quite reflect how close it really was, it was still a great game. However, the entire game UConn just seemed outmatched and too small. I love hating on Elliott Cadeau but man he played great in this one, Morez Johnson had a double double, Yaxel Lendeborg (best player in the nation btw) put up 13, everyone contributed. And that's what makes this team so great. Michigan was the most complete team in all of college basketball this year and they proved it in the National Championship at the highest stage. This was their only game this tournament within 12 points.
But on the negative side, it hurts me to see Silas Demary lose like this. He got hurt right before the tournament and really just wasn't himself at all during the tournament. While normally I hate a guy for transferring away from Georgia, he brought the program to new heights. Brought us to our first tourney appearance in my experience of watching college basketball. I love you Silas Demary ❤️

Michigan was 8-24 two years ago, and Dusty May led the Wolverines to their first national title since 1989 and the Big Ten’s first since 2000.
It wasn’t a flashy game - UConn dragged Michigan into a contest played at the Huskies’ pace. No one could hit a three. It felt like UConn was one run away from Dan Hurley pulling another rabbit out of the hat this tournament, but the run never came.
Elliot Cadeau as the lead guard for a national title team? Who saw that coming?
