Michigan’s championship win was more than just impressive, it was historic.

Before Monday night, NCAA Tournament teams were just 1-50 all-time when scoring under 70 points, shooting under 40% from the field, hitting under 15% from 3 on 15+ attempts, and getting out-rebounded.

Then came Michigan.

The Wolverines shot just 38.2%, went 2-for-15 from deep, lost the rebounding battle, and still found a way to beat UConn 69-63 for the national championship.

This was not a pretty win. It was a tough, gritty, against-the-odds championship performance that rewrote a rare piece of tournament history.

(1) Michigan found a way on a night when almost nothing came easy.

The Wolverines beat UConn 69-63 Monday night to win the national championship, overcoming a brutal 2-for-15 night from 3-point range and getting out-rebounded 43-36. The difference came at the free-throw line and at the rim. Michigan went 25-for-28 at the stripe, a +13 edge over UConn, and owned the paint 36-22 while blocking 6 shots. UofM is 2nd in blocked shots for the season at a 6.1 average!

UConn controlled stretches early and won the battle on the glass, but foul trouble and Michigan’s size changed the game. The Huskies were whistled for 22 fouls to Michigan’s 13, which helped fuel a key 10-4 run late in the first half and gave the Wolverines the cushion they never gave back.

It wasn’t pretty, but it was championship basketball, tough, physical, and won in the margins. Michigan closes the season at 37 wins and finishes the job with the national crown. 🏆💙💛

🏀 Tournament Test

(2) UConn is the only team in this year’s tournament to beat two teams seeded No. 3 or better entering the title game. If they win tonight, make that THREE teams!

The Huskies have been battle-tested every step of the way.

Tonight’s championship matchup feels worthy of the road both teams took to get here.

🏀 Championship DNA

(2) UConn is 6-0 all-time in NCAA championship games.

When the Huskies reach Monday night, they finish the job.

That perfect record will be tested tonight.

(1) Michigan has won its first five NCAA Tournament games this year by double digits.

That kind of dominance in March is rare, and it has carried the Wolverines all the way to the championship game!

(1) Michigan is seeking its **first national championship since 1989**.

It has been 37 years since the Wolverines last cut down the nets, and tonight they get their shot against the reigning power in college basketball, (2) UConn.

Can Michigan finish the job?
