🏀 GAME THREAD March Madness 2026: Michigan outlasts UConn rally for first title in 37 years

Looking like the danger zone for Arizona. Almost like they're foul baiting Michigan and not getting any calls. Meanwhile, Michigan has been able to get into their offensive sets within the first 15 seconds. They're also turning them Arizona over.

Game has the feeling of a comeback

 

[Bammerboy321]

Michigan is suffocating on D

 

[Bammerboy321]

Alabama's got to start playing defense like these teams. I mean Michigan in a flash had four guys back in transition to deny any fast break opportunity.

LOL, I saw a video clip from Portnoy's suite on Twitter earlier and it looked like he and his Barstool crew were 3 states away from the action.

Arizona on a 9-2 now

I absolutely hate that the F4 and championship is played in football venues

Arizona's front court has woken up

Man what a let down this game is

Michigan just seems to be to much for Az to handle. Can't go on scoring droughts and stay with Michigan. Bama lit them up the first half but just could not sustain that shooting pace which is what it would have taken. Still pulling for Az but do not see them coming back.

Did see Barkley and Hurley throwing some shade at each other. Bakrkley may not be a Hurley fan and vice versa .

It seems that Ill and Az were defeated before their games started. Were not in a win win mindset. When we played Mi, we got defeated during halftime. Again, that darn mindset. Got to have that head right.

So, do we all pull for Michigan since they are the team to put us out of the tournament?

Not at gunpoint. But I think UConn's coach is a jerk, so I'll continue to not care.

Although meaningless, and in the arena of 'At least', Bama played Michigan score wise, closer than all of the other teams. Could help in moving to a higher final ranking. FWIW.

Roll Tide.

At LEAST year round for you!

I don't like Michigan. But, this is the second thing I've seen that gives me a pause on May. The first is what he did in Florida.

Like him or not, with a win he's entering hallowed territory. Only five, maybe six, other coaches will have accomplished what he has: three NC tourney titles. Coincidently, joining the likes of Bobby Knight.
