Two and a half weeks ago, 64 teams were on the board with hopes of bringing their school a national championship. Now, that number has dwindled down to just two.

On Monday night, the No. 1 Michigan Wolverines and No. 2 UConn Huskies will meet at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and only one can walk away hoisting a trophy. For head coach Dan Hurley, this would be his third championship in four seasons. The Huskies do come into this game with good fortune, as they have yet to lose in the Final Four or National Championship under Hurley. Their buzzer-beater win over the Duke Blue Devils and steady showing over the Illinois Fighting Illini in the Final Four have shown they are a legit championship-caliber team, and they are on the cusp of becoming a college basketball dynasty. If the Huskies were to win, center Alex Karaban would become just the ninth player in D1 history to win three championships, and the first player outside of UCLA’s 1967-1973 dynasty teams.
Standing in the opposite corner lies a Michigan Wolverines team vying to become the first Big Ten school to win the national championship since 2000 (Michigan State, 89-76 win over Florida). Michigan State all the way back in 2000. The Wolverines come into this game as current 6.5-point favorites over the Huskies, and their star-studded roster is the reason why. Yaxel Lendeborg came back into the game after spraining his MCL and ankle in their Final Four game against Arizona. Sunday’s MRI came back clean with a slightly sprained ankle, according to coach Dusty May, so the Wolverine star will be ready to go. Wolverine Aday Mara will look to continue his high-level play after a dominant 26-point, 9-rebound, and two-block game in the Final Four.
